Livestock Production

Full-Time Course Plan

The following are standard patterns of enrolment or pathways for candidates studying on a full-time or part-time basis. They take into account unit pre-requisite, co-requisite and timetabling requirements. Candidates can each year choose to study less units than the full-time pattern or more units than the part-time pattern, but if doing so should use these standard patterns as guides as to how best structure their studies.

A six credit point unit is estimated to require a total workload of approximately 150 hours per unit (this means about 12 to 15 hours per week per unit).

Candidates who undertake an Honours program in Year 4 must include unit RUSC490 in both Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 in place of two Listed Units.

For those interested in the following aspects of Livestock Production inclusion of the following units (including choices available in 1st and 2nd year) is suggested:
Sheep and Wool Science - (ANPR450, SOIL222, WOOL322/422, WOOL372/472, WOOL382/482, RUSC490)
Animal Health and Nutrition - (ANPR440, BCHM310, MICR350, SOIL222, RUSC490)
Intensive Animal Production - (ANPR440, ENGT237, PLTY300, PLTY301, SOIL222, RUSC490)
Consulting and Advisory Services - (CSLT402, ECON223, MTHS110, MM200)
For those interested in pursuing a career in research or academia in any of these areas, RUSC490 is strongly recommended.

Candidates who are interested in pursuing a career as a secondary teacher should note that the core units in the Livestock Production major meet the prerequisite admission requirements of the Master of Teaching (Secondary) for candidates specialising in teaching Biology and Chemistry. Candidates who wish to meet the prerequisite requirements to teach Earth and Environmental Science should undertake SOIL222 and/or a Geology or Environmental Science unit from the Listed Units.
