Hi, I'm Sarah... Hi, I'm Patrick... Hi, I'm Shi Shang
All: Welcome to Dookie!
This is Swinburne Hall. This is where we
study, and we always do oral
presentations and things in here, we
practice with friends and have fun here.
This is A Dorm. It's been recently
renovated. It provides a very good communal
space for us as residents, and I have 
many fond memories here.
I chose to study agriculture because it's a 
bit more practical in the sense that I feel like
I'm making a difference in growing
food for people in need.
Yeah, I really enjoy it.
I think it's an industry that has
a lot of scope. I mean there are jobs
everywhere around the world and in
Australia and there's different
industries that you can enter as well
I mostly like the Dookie Semester and the
practical side of things... the people,
I think the family-friendly environment
and the help I got from all the other
students and the lecturers helped me get into agriculture.
One day you could be in a lecture theatre researching the scientific
plant growth stages and the next day you can be out here working the sheep yards.
I chose to study up at Dookie for the more practical experience and really understanding what I'm actually
doing and getting bit more hands-on experience.
We've attended numerous research projects up at Yarrawonga and Rutherglen; I think living up here
is very much a lifestyle and I think
that really helps
fast-forward your degree and your
knowledge of the industry.
Yeah, I'll definitely recommend it, just
because you get community up here,
you really enjoy everything. You learn much more up here – you're not just
looking down a microscope, you're really
actually looking at the plant itself.
Most of our lecturers here also do
research. Let's go see what they're doing.
I'm Graham Brodie and I've been
developing a microwave weed killer for
about the last ten years. It's going to
transform agriculture because it will allow
us to kill herbicide-resistant weeds for
the first time.
I'm Dorin Gupta. I'm a crop scientist and
the key focus of my research is to look
into biotic stress, especially fungal
diseases, in legumes.
Hi, I'm Chris Barnes. I'm a lecturer in wine
technology and viticulture here at Dookie
and this is the Bertie 2016 Shriaz that was made by the Vine to Wine students in
2016 and it's just won a gold medal at
the Rutherglen wine show.
