The Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree is the accepted qualification for young men and women wishing to enter careers in Agricultural Science or Agricultural Economics. Successful candidates are likely to have a strong aptitude for science or economics, looking forward to a clearly defined and purposeful career in these fields. Some agricultural scientists and economists concentrate on research or teaching. Others work in extension-helping farmers apply new knowledge to improve their crops and herds. Employers may be government bodies or private companies that provide the high quality services demanded by modern agriculture.
Some graduates are successful farmers.
Some specialise in animal science, some in crop and pasture production, others in soil science, agricultural microbiology or agricultural economics. Others combine several of these fields. The minimum mathematics requirement is TEE Discrete Mathematics. It is helpful if you have studied TEE Chemistry, but it is not essential. In addition, they study Economics for Agriculture and Resource Management and Ecosystem Processes within the Faculty of Agriculture.
