The Bachelor of Agricultural Science at Murdoch University builds deep theoretical knowledge, applied understanding, practical experience, and industry and community engagement related to agricultural sciences, with a strong emphasis on sustainable food and fibre production and supply chains, biosecurity and food security.

Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of production systems that support the long-term health of our food systems and environment. Knowledge of the principles and concepts of agricultural science is augmented with practical skills and transferable career skills. Learning is delivered through authentic experiences in the classroom, on-farm, and in the workplace, focusing on developing problem-solving capabilities relevant to sustainable food and fibre production.

Double majors and major/minor combinations are available, providing opportunities to integrate agricultural science with social, business, health, and policy environments.
