CSU's Bachelor of Wine Science is designed to develop knowledge and skills in winemaking, wine science, viticulture and wine appraisal. Students can complete their studies while working in the wine industry or by interchanging full-time study with distance education.
CSU has contributed to the industry since 1975 by developing courses that offer a unique blend of science, business and practical training for wine industry personnel. With access to an on campus commercial winery, which is at the forefront of viticultural practices and winemaking techniques, and teaching staff who are experienced professionals in the field, our students graduate with the knowledge and hands-on experience that give them the edge in the wine industry.
The course aims to:
•provide a balanced foundation of study in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, statistics and physics
•build on the basic science foundation and provide an understanding of the science and technology of wine, encompassing wine production, wine microbiology, wine chemistry and winery engineering
•provide an understanding of grape production, factors affecting grape quality, and methods for producing quality grapes
•develop an understanding of wine quality and style by studying sensory wine appraisal.
Students looking to study full-time should apply through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). Part-time, distance education, single subject and postgraduate students should be applied directly to the university by either going online or downloading the enrolment form.
