Master of Agricultural Science

(M.Agr.Sc.)


Primary production is more than traditional farming.

It is an essential part of New Zealand's economy and today's agriculturalists need to be able to compete and respond to the requirements of international markets for quality products.

The Master of Agricultural Science recognises the scientific management of our primary resources demands innovation, sophistication and business acumen.

It offers advanced study and research in the fields that underpin agricultural production, science and management.
