Postgraduate Diploma in Horticultural Science
Lincoln University's Postgraduate Diploma in Horticultural Science provides an opportunity for graduates from a range of backgrounds to study in the areas of horticultural production, processing, marketing, plant pathology, plant science, viticulture & oenology, science and research. The horticultural industry is an essential part of New Zealand's economy. To remain competitive, New Zealand horticulture must respond to the requirements of international markets for quality products.
What the sector needs is the entry of a new generation of motivated, highly competent, skilled and knowledgeable individuals to achieve the anticipated increased export earnings.
Lincoln University is involved in many international research projects and this research is incorporated into the teaching programme.
