Lincoln University’s strategic mission is “to unlock the power of the land to enhance lives and grow the future”. To enable such an undertaking in the context of agriculture requires joint efforts in Aotearoa New Zealand and with international partners to increase productivity, reduce environmental footprints and embrace the whole value chain from soil to fork. Part of that journey will be an ever-increasing use of digital technologies in monitoring, decision making, operating and managing the primary production systems of a fast growing bio-economy. Digital-based agricultural production systems are different to the current mainstream approaches. The Master of Precision Agriculture will provide technical leaders for the agriculture and food and fibre industries and large agricultural or food-related organisations including processors and wholesalers, by training postgraduates who will become managers, data-driven scientists, consultants, farmers, sustainable production managers and strategic managers. The Master of Precision Agriculture is taught in conjunction with the University of Canterbury. Note: Admission to this programme in 2021 has been suspended.

Lincoln University is a uniquely specialised land-based university.

Helping our students grow is what we are all about. We encourage them to do it their way, with diverse learning that fits their ambitions in an environment allowing them to flourish.

Qualifications we offer range from certificate level through to PhD, and our teaching and research covers all activity associated with the land-based sectors to meet the needs of not only New Zealand, but also the world.

Lincoln students come from around New Zealand and from more than 80 countries, and our graduates can be found around the globe making a difference.

Our low student to lecturer ratio means more personalised attention for our students, and to support practical applied learning a large number of our courses have field trip components, visiting anything from a business, vineyard, or forest.

We help students to graduate with degrees that provide many varied employment opportunities. Our applied programmes prepare students for successful careers and our alumni have a 15% higher employment rate than graduates from other New Zealand universities.

It all adds up to, when the time comes, our students being ready to go out there and grow the future for themselves and others.

Some of our programmes are offered 'Fees Free'.  This applies to selected programmes for domestic students interested in postgraduate studies  https://www.lincoln.ac.nz/fees-free-study/.
