Students also get a firm grounding in sciences, so that they have a rare combination of skills, which is much in demand. The fourth year of study features the opportunity to undertake a substantial independent, but supervised, research project in the area of Agricultural and Resource Economics. These projects generally develop from the student's own areas of interest and often involve economic analysis of agricultural or natural resource issues in Western Australia. Students who perform well in their final year of independent study have the opportunity to pursue a graduate degree. Students who specialise in Agricultural and Resource Economics complete their undergraduate degree with a broad understanding of how society can endeavour to make best use of its agricultural and natural resources.
Graduates have the skills to advise decision-makers at various levels of economic activity.
