Before you compare

  • Entry ranks are a past year's, not a cut-off. Each is the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer, with the median rank where it's published, for the year shown. How ATARs really work
  • Teaching, experience and graduate jobs come from QILT's national surveys of agriculture and environmental science students and graduates at each university, shown against the national average.
  • Completion rates cover all of a university's bachelor students, not agriculture and environmental science alone, and partly reflect who a university enrols.
  • Cost: from about $4,908 to $9,880 a year, the 2027 student contribution. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront.Estimate

How entry usually works: Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite, and a science subject is commonly required or recommended. Many of these courses include field work or a placement on a farm, reserve or research station.
