Master of Agricultural Science
The Master of Agricultural Science recognises that the scientific management of our primary resources demands innovation, sophistication and business acumen. This Master's degree offers advanced study and research in the fields that underpin agricultural production, science and management.
Primary production is more than traditional farming, and it is an essential part of New Zealand's economy. Today's agriculturalists need to be able to compete and respond to the requirements of international markets for quality products.
