Description:

Food and AgriBusiness management provides a unique opportunity to understand both Business and Science. As a result, graduates are well placed to occupy leading roles in a variety of sectors.

The programme combines both business and economics with the technology and science of the agri-food sector. This is Ireland’s largest indigenous industry, accounting for about 6.7% of gross domestic product, 10% of exports and 8.2% of total employment. The programme develops your skills and knowledge for managerial and professional careers in the food production and marketing chain and the businesses and organisations that serve it. This extends from supply of raw materials to agriculture, through farm production, to the processing and marketing of food products, including the many private and state organisations that serve the agri-food industry. Students will work on the most up-to-date computer and communications technology throughout the programme.
