BAgrSc Food Business with Chinese Studies

The Food Business with Chinese Studies programme reflects the  changing market landscape, and aims to develop graduates with the skills and talent urgently required by both the Irish and the international food industry.

With Brexit and the uncertainty involving the UK market, export expansion to the emerging markets has critical strategic importance to the food industry and the overall economy.

The changing market landscape requires improved foreign language capability to facilitate access to new markets, and to help sustain and strengthen the modern agri-food and agribusiness companies.
