What you'll learn

Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to: 

  1. Identify, analyse and evaluate knowledge, skills, behaviours and attributes required to develop and enhance career opportunities in Agribusiness
  2. Describe the application of business concepts for contemporary agriculture
  3. Use cognitive, creative and technical skills to enable agribusiness to be agile and adaptable in digital and innovative landscapes
Career opportunities

With interest growing in where food and other primary products are grown and produced, customers are keen to build relationships with their producers and learn about where their products come from. This provides new and innovative retail and marketing opportunities for the agribusiness industry to benefit from, with the farm-to-household trend like farmers markets, online shopping and home delivery.


Whether you’re just starting out in the industry or looking to upskill and progress in your current position, studying agribusiness will open you up to an exciting array of career pathways. You might find yourself working in a primary product business, such as horticulture, aquaculture, pharmaceuticals, or wineries, or in other non-production roles such as consultancy, business advisory, transport, retail or distribution.


For those already working in agriculture, this course can help you upskill and progress to more advanced managerial or leadership roles in your workplace.


By completing the Undergraduate Certificate in Agribusiness you will also have the opportunity to transition into further study, with full credit towards an Associate Degree in Agribusiness.
