Lincoln University’s Bachelor of Agriculture uses real world examples and practical experiences to produce graduates who can immediately make a difference in jobs across all areas of agricultural production and related industries. New Zealand is a world leader in agriculture, and it is not by chance that, for over 130 years, Lincoln University has been training world-leading agricultural specialists.
This degree is structured around courses in four key disciplines: plant science, animal science, soil science and farm management.
