Summary

Lincoln's Postgraduate Diploma in Agricultural Science prepares graduates for the demands of today's agricultural sector. Agriculture is the backbone of New Zealand's economy. Scientific research and technological developments have made this country an international leader in the production of many agricultural products. The demand for activities that will increase the value of our primary products has resulted in the need for graduates beyond the traditional areas of sheep, dairy and arable farming. They are now sought after in the areas of research, marketing and technology transfer, in service industries allied to the agricultural sector and into positions with Crown Research Institutes, Treasury and into consultancy positions within exporting companies. Graduates from agriculture programmes are highly sought after both within New Zealand and internationally.
