The agricultural industry is the second-biggest export industry in Western Australia.
This course is eligible for the new RIRDC scholarship. “Investing in Youth”
Graduates who understand the science behind agriculture but also have a strong background in economics are in high demand, as decisions made in the industry must be economically viable.
This is an applied economics degree which gives students training in microeconomics and quantitative methods which will allow them to analyse issues and problems in agriculture.
The degree includes scope to undertake science options through all four years. This recognises that many issues require an interdisciplinary knowledge which combines natural and social sciences.
