During the Food & Agribusiness Management degree, students will learn how the principles of business and economics apply to farming, food production and marketing. They’ll gain an understanding of how the Irish and international food systems deliver food products and services that people want, and how farmers and food manufacturers can produce profitably, while also taking care of the natural environment.
The four-year degree provides a unique opportunity to understand both business and science, focusing on the agri-food sector – Ireland’s largest indigenous industry. Students will learn skills that can be used across a wide range of jobs both within and outside the agri-food sector.
Students will spend the second trimester of their third year working in the food and agribusiness industry in Ireland or abroad. This helps students apply the knowledge they have gained, and can lead directly to employment following graduation. There are also opportunities to take a trimester abroad in third year. Possibilities include:
- Cornell University, USA
- University of California, USA
- Kansas State University, USA
- University of Queensland, Australia
- Purdue University, USA
- Lincoln University, New Zealand
