Outline

This two-year associate degree is a combination of commerce, agricultural science and agribusiness units that equips students for employment in the agribusiness management sector and for further study at Bachelor level. Students develop an understanding of the breadth of the modern agribusiness sector through units in agricultural production systems farm business management, food and agribusiness marketing and farm accounting and finance. Students are encouraged to work within the agricultural industry for a minimum of ten weeks during semester breaks to advance their practical skills and to better understand how they can apply their theoretical knowledge in the modern agribusiness workplace. The learning activities in the course will be based primarily at the Muresk Institute which allows for engaging and practical on-farm experiences. Students successfully completing the associate degree qualify for entry into the Curtin’s Bachelor of Agribusiness (and many other courses).
