Dairy Business

The BAgrSc Dairy Business programme aims to provide students with a high level of scientific, technical, and business knowledge and skills relevant to those entering the dairy industry. We encourage our students to think critically and to be active, motivated, autonomous learners; our ambition is to foster lifelong learning, leadership, and individual and career growth. We aim to provide learning environments that integrate teaching, research, assessment and learning, individually and through group activities to develop leadership, critical and reflective practice, effective communication and enquiry skills. The diversity of learning environments (off campus, classroom, work placement) and methods ensure that students have a stimulating learning experience, which should equip them with the skills necessary to provide professional leadership and support for this expanding and dynamic dairy industry. The programme aims to be an integral component in ensuring the continued success of the Irish dairy industry. To achieve the aims of the programme, a research-based learning approach is employed, incorporating a diverse range of teaching and assessment methods such as case studies, group work, project work, and work placements.
