There is a high demand for agricultural expertise in Australia, with the need for graduates of tertiary agriculture qualifications being five times larger than the supply of graduates, according to the Australian Council of Deans of Agriculture. With a Master of Science in Agricultural Innovation, you will graduate with the skills needed to meet this demand. You will have a systemic understanding of farm and agri-food value-chains and the skills to integrate and adapt knowledge from different disciplines to design novel solutions to complex agri-food challenges. 

Depending on your cognate discipline, you can take up technical, applied, policy, and communication roles across the agri-sector and related industries including environmental management, business, computer science, biology, engineering, systems modelling, and others. You'll be able to bring adaptive critical systems thinking skills to government, industry and research institutions, with the capacity to enter at managerial and strategic-thinking level positions.
