Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology with Honours

B.V.& O.(Hons)


Lincoln University has been instrumental in the development of the grape and wine industry in Canterbury and Marlborough. Research programmes at Lincoln led directly to the establishment of South Island regions as viable areas for cool-climate viticulture and wine-making.

The Bachelor of Viticuture and Oenology with Honours emphasises the integration of grape-growing and wine-making and its importance in the production of a quality product. Advanced study in this area includes exposure to the most recent research findings from Lincoln University's laboratories, as well as from around the world.
