The BAgriScience degree prepares students to participate in the primary industries. It focuses on the overlapping areas of science, technology, and business to meet current and emerging opportunities in the primary industries. It enables students to develop skills in communication, information technology, creativity, innovation, problem solving, and analysis. Finally, it provides exciting career options and prepares students for future leadership roles in New Zealand's most important industry. 

The BAgriScience is a three-year degree providing a broad education through a mix of compulsory and optional papers. Students may choose from a wide range of subjects while ensuring opportunity for study in specialist areas. BAgriScience graduates can go on to a one-year postgraduate Honours degree (BAgriScience(Hons)) or Postgraduate Diploma (PGDipAgriSc) and hence to higher postgraduate degrees. 

Students have a choice of three majors: Agriculture, Horticulture, and Equine. To ensure that all BAgriScience students have a good understanding of industry practices and practical issues, students must undertake a period of industry-related work experience related to choice of major. 

The BAgriScience degree provides an educational experience in agricultural, horticultural, or equine systems that equip you with leadership qualities and the capacity to work cooperatively and effectively in teams. You'll have the ability to integrate and apply science, technology, and business principles to current and emerging issues in land-based and related sectors. The programme will give you an in-depth understanding of agricultural, horticultural, or equine systems; the environmental impact and sustainability of these systems; their positions in the New Zealand and global economies; and their interaction with human values. You'll learn the skills needed for ongoing career development, including written and oral communication, information technology, systems thinking, creativity, innovation, problem solving, research, analytical skills, and interpersonal skills.
