Horticultural management is studied in relation to plant production systems and open space areas. Excursions will be undertaken in the Sydney metropolitan area and in other parts of the state. Students should note that excursions for field study elective subjects may be held in the weeks prior to semester and in other non-teaching weeks of the year, including weekends. The timetable for field trips scheduled to run in 2001 will be available prior to enrolment in late 2000. Graduates of the course are in increasing demand as professional horticulturists.
Many graduates also enter universities and research organisations.
