Diploma in Agriculture

This course will no longer be offered from 2021.

This course has the general aim of providing a formal academic qualification for people who wish to obtain training at the tertiary level in a selected or general area of agriculture, without the need to commit themselves to a full degree program. It is an ideal program for those who need to undertake a refresher course in a particular discipline or who wish to broaden their knowledge.

On completion of the Diploma students may enrol for the Bachelor of Agriculture and are able to count units already completed towards the Diploma.

I would like to know more about this course.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. demonstrate current, technical and theoretical knowledge of a specialised area of agriculture and agricultural extension;
2. apply technical, field and/or laboratory competencies relevant to food and fibre production and management of agricultural systems to solve unpredictable and/or management requirements;
3. demonstrate scientific written and oral communication skills at a diploma level;
4. identify, analyse and act on information from a range of sources to apply solutions in known or changing contexts; and
5. transfer knowledge and specialised skills to others and demonstrate understanding of knowledge.
