Post Graduate Opportunities in Whole Farm Consultancy
Looking to expand your skills? Working flat out but not going forward personally? Or perhaps you
have an employee who needs some extra personal development to keep them interested?
CSU’s School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences is now offering you a great opportunity! The new
Whole Farm Consultancy option as part of their Postgraduate course in Animal Science is now
available through the School’s Fred Morley Unit.
Too busy, can’t get away from the business? No problems. The courses are by Distance Education,
and you do them at your own pace. And much of the work is done with your own clients.
Candidates enrol in a Masters in Animal Science (12 subject equivalents), but can exit with a
Certificate (4 subjects equivalents) or a Diploma (8 subject equivalents). For most, the 3 subject
Certificate will give participants the outcomes they require, although for those wanting more, it is
there. A suggested time frame for the Certificate is a “subject” per semester, completing it over
two years.
The Certificate involves a core Whole Farm Consultancy subject and a “double” subject carrying out
whole farm investigations on your clients’ farms. The final subject gives you the option of choosing
a pastures subject, more on-farm investigations or post-grad statistics. This is a real hands-on
approach course, where you get to put into practice the theory.
Successful participants will receive a Certificate, Diploma or Master in Animal Science.
Courses will commence in Semester 2, 2011 (July). The number of places offered will be limited
each semester. Depending on demand, future intakes will be in Semester 1, 2012 and Semester 2,
2012.
