Most students opt for the broad base.
Top of page Horticulture and Viticulture Fruit and vegetable production have become significant industries and now make important contributions to our export earnings. The potential of our richly diverse native flora also has been recognised, and floriculture has emerged as a significant industry. In response to these developments, we have been teaching a degree in Horticultural Science for more than ten years. Because of the rapid growth of the wine industry the Faculty now includes viticulture in its horticultural degree. For a select group of students, there will be a special opportunity to spend two semesters studying oenology at the world class facilities at the University of Adelaide.
