Nurture a diverse knowledge of agriculture and food production with a broad and deep understanding of the science behind farming, animal production, plant production and soil and nutrient management. Learn how to apply the latest sustainability strategies, and the benefits this has on the paddock to plate journey. If you gain access to Honours, then you can further deepen your learning and practical skills with an original research project in a specific area of agricultural science or specialist farm management.

Lincoln University is the Southern Hemisphere’s oldest recognised specialist land-based university. The Bachelor of Agricultural Science is unique in being a four-year programme.

You will develop a broad set of advanced skills spanning not just soil and nutrient management, plant and animal production, and farming systems; but also selected advanced level courses in plant protection, genetics and breeding, sustainability, water resources and management, ecology, agroforestry, precision agriculture, biochemistry, resource management law, field research, seed technology and plant and animal physiology.

Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Honours)

The Bachelor of Agricultural Science can be awarded with Honours. Students are invited by the Dean to take the Honours option for their fourth year, and will typically have completed the sixth semester of study within the minimum time, with a cumulative GPA of 5 or higher for their last two years of study.
