Deadlines

  1. 1 March 2027*

    Start the uni-assist preliminary review
    Your own plan
    Details

    Foreign qualifications are normally checked by uni-assist before a university will consider the application. uni-assist says a result usually takes 4 to 6 weeks and asks you to apply at least 8 weeks before the deadline. Starting late is a common and avoidable way to miss an institutional deadline.

    IB results released
    Details

    Early July, which is what places an IB candidate in the later medicine group rather than the earlier one.

What it is

Ecological farming and horticulture, from soil science and agroecology to precision and urban farming, with a specialisation from semester 4 and a 20-week farm internship or a semester abroad in semester 6.

What you need

  • No pre-study placement required, but the programme head strongly recommends 8 weeks or more on a farm or horticultural business first.
