Food and Agribusiness Management

Can’t decide between business and science? Why not do a degree that combines both and develops your specific knowledge of Ireland’s largest indigenous industry? This programme combines business and economics with the technology and science of the agri-food sector. This is an important part of the Irish economy, accounting for about 8.4% of gross domestic product, 6.7 billion euros in exports, and 9.5% 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 the supply of raw materials to agriculture, through farm production, to the processing and marketing of food products, including the many private and state organizations that serve the agri-food industry. Students will work on the most up-to-date computer and communications technology throughout the programme.
