Summary

World-class Viticulture and Wine Science

This is an exciting growth period for the vibrant New Zealand wine industry and great wines cannot be produced without the skills and knowledge of top viticulturalists, winemakers and managers. Study the science of viticulture and winemaking (oenology) in New Zealand’s most diverse premium wine growing region.

You will discover everything about growing quality wine grapes and how wine is made. You will learn about grape varieties, the environments they are best suited to plus the science and art involved in turning wine grapes into one of New Zealand’s most famous exports. The degree covers specialist technical, scientific, and business skills necessary for working in the wine industry. The latest research, industry technology and relevant issues related to sustainability are key topics. You will gain hands-on experience in our campus vineyard, purpose-built winery and science laboratory facilities, as well as complete vineyard work experience, a commercial vintage and a research project in tandem with the winegrowing industry. You must be 18 years of age or over on the 1st February of the year you begin this programme. If you are under 18, you may be provisionally accepted into the programme but will be restricted in the courses in which you can enrol before you turn 18 years of age.
