Other universities offer the same degree and require a lower entry score. Check you university guides. Diploma courses are also available through certain TAFEs some of which can articulate to a degree.
Membership of the Australian Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology is recommended as are postgraduate qualifications and international work experience.
