Government-funded fee waivers for domestic students
To support domestic students into jobs in the food and fibre sectors, the Government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund is covering course costs for four Lincoln University sub-degree programmes from July 2020 until December 2022.
No previous tertiary study experience is necessary and you can go on to study for a degree or head straight into a job.
Apply for one of these programmes and enhance your employability by learning specific skills for an essential growth industry:
- Diploma in Horticulture (you can begin studying for this diploma in July, 2020)
- Diploma in Horticultural Business
- Diploma in Horticultural Management
- Diploma in Agriculture
- Diploma in Farm Management
- Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production
Each programme includes a practical work component, which involves spending time working on a relevant farm or business, ensuring that you are industry-ready as soon as you graduate.
This funding is separate from the Government’s Fees Free scheme, which you will still be able to access at the end of your programme.
