Level 3 General and Amenity Horticulture (on campus)
Do you want to enter the horticulture industry?
New Zealand’s diverse and robust horticulture and related industries have experienced steady growth over recent years and this looks set to continue in the future. This means that qualified and experienced horticulturalists are in demand across the country.
Based in Dunedin, this qualification will give you the work-ready skills needed to enter a range of sectors in the horticulture industry.
During this programme, you will learn about sustainable growing methods, permaculture, plant propagation, plant and soil science, and how to identify and grow healthy plants. In addition, this is combined with the opportunity to develop your skills in amenity horticulture (the care and maintenance of plants in parks and gardens).
You will receive a mix of hands-on and theoretical learning using our nursery facilities, permaculture garden, Living Campus grounds and other sites such as the beautiful, internationally-acclaimed Dunedin Botanic Garden.
Field trips and work experience are important parts of the programme; these will help you to connect with those already working in this dynamic industry.
Graduates of this programme will receive the New Zealand Certificate in Horticulture (General) (Level 3) and the New Zealand Certificate in Horticulture (Level 3) (Amenity).
