Take on global food and environmental challenges. Protect and promote animal wellbeing.

Want to turn your love for animals and the environment into a career? 

There are so many ways to make a difference in this rewarding field. You could develop drought-resistant crops. Rehabilitate seals affected by oil spills. Help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock. Run enrichment programs for animals in shelters. Track songbird migration, protect turtle nesting sites, or study fish in freshwater rivers.

Our agriculture, animal and veterinary science degrees open doors to the diverse and essential fields that connect animals, plants and people. You can explore areas such as animal physiology, genetics, soil science and plant cultivation, preparing for meaningful careers in research, environmental management, animal care or the agricultural industries. 

At Adelaide University, you’ll gain practical skills and hands-on experience. Through industry placements, you’ll get a taste for careers in animal production, sustainable agriculture, wildlife organisations, research facilities and companion animal care. You’ll sharpen your research skills in cutting-edge facilities fit with innovative technology. 

With further postgraduate study, you could manage agricultural enterprises, contribute to food security, or even establish your own veterinary practice. You might develop eco-friendly fungicides. Engage in marine and wildlife conservation. Design urban rooftop gardens and vertical farms. Study ladybugs and bees to boost fruit and vegetable yields. Conduct health checks on Tasmanian devils. Work with primary producers to boost livestock health and productivity.
