Destinations of recent Agricultural Science graduates from the University of Tasmania

After graduating from the Bachelors of Agricultural Science from the University of Tasmania almost 100% of students find employment in the primary industry sector or go onto further study. Those who do not get a job usually do so because of another interest (e.g. travel overseas); not because there are no opportunities. On the contrary there are not enough people expert in the area of agricultural science.
