Agriculture
The Department offers two diploma programs in Agriculture and Agricultural Management. The Diploma in Agriculture has a technical focus and consists of a number of electives regarding major production systems, e.g. Livestock, Crop, Agronomy, Oenology and Viticulture. Subjects in Agricultural Extension and Crop Protection also form part of this diploma and contribute to the development of highly employable young agriculturalists.
The Diploma in Agricultural Management has a managerial focus and subjects such as Labour Law and Human Resource Management form the backbone of the course, supported by technical subjects in livestock and crop production. We also offer programs at a postgraduate level in the fields of Livestock Production, Crop Science, Extension Science, Viticulture and Oenology.
All programs are presented at the Wellington Campus in the peaceful rural setting of the Cape Winelands district which is ideally suited to the education and training of agricultural students.
Join us and contribute to the ever-expanding and vibrant agricultural industry in the Western Cape and beyond.
