About Degree
A perfect starter for food and agribusiness
Food and agricultural products were among humanity’s earliest traded commodities. And they remain among our largest and most valuable industries today—with South Australia home to some of the world’s most respected producers.
Our new Professional Certificate in Global Food and Agricultural Business provides a high-impact, rapidly completed first step towards a rewarding career in these vital fields.
What will you do?
Conducted over just six months part-time, the program includes an engaging blend of online and face-to-face learning. You will graduate with the skills and confidence to:
- describe and evaluate complex global food markets’ dynamics—economic, policy, environmental and social
- identify international trends and institutional changes affecting agri-food systems.
What’s more, you’ll gain priceless insight from some of South Australia’s most successful primary producers and agribusiness leaders, not to mention the University of APSB’s world-class researchers.
Where could it take you?
You’ll emerge ready to step up and play your part in the global food or agribusiness setting of your choosing—from government departments, research centres and funding agencies, to food retailers, agricultural consultancy services, and non-government organisations. You could also go on to further study, with our graduate certificate, graduate diploma or master’s in global food and agricultural business.
