BACHELOR OF AGRICULTURE (HONOURS)
BH-AGR is a 100 point honours year for students who have completed an undergraduate Bachelor of Agriculture, either 315PD, 315DO or B-AGR.
The honours course is comprised of coursework subjects and a research project. The coursework subjects will enable students to gain an understanding of the principals of research. Students will also be expected to attend Faculty research seminars throughout the year.
