What our students say

"The ability to study agricultural science at a rural campus places you with like-minded students and enables you to become immersed in the agricultural sector. The Bachelor of Agricultural Science is a comprehensive program that gives you a wide variety of employment or further study opportunities as well as a sample of international agriculture. UQ is preparing me for my future career by putting me in contact with researchers and other industry professionals who can put me on the right track."
