About this program

The Bachelor of Agribusiness at Curtin University brings together the study of agricultural science and business management. Over three years, students cover units including agricultural economics, farm management, supply chain operations and agricultural marketing. There is a strong focus on the commercial realities of running agricultural enterprises and operating across national and international markets.

A typical study plan involves core and elective units, each carrying a designated number of credit points. Students take part in either two semesters or three trimesters per year, depending on the university's academic calendar. Assessment may include case studies, group projects and industry-based assignments. Some units offer field trips and practical components to connect classroom learning with real-world practice in Western Australia's key agricultural regions.

Students build practical skills in financial analysis, resource allocation, risk management and the use of digital technologies in agriculture. The degree also provides opportunities for industry engagement, which is valued by employers. There may be options for work-integrated learning or placements with agribusiness firms, depending on availability. This course is well suited to those interested in agriculture with a focus on business, especially students who wish to run rural enterprises, advise on agricultural investment, or work within food and fibre supply chains.

Graduates can explore post-study work options through the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), and while enrolled, international students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight, making it easier to gain Australian industry experience.
