This 4 year degree develops Honours level graduates in food business and technology. The B.A. (Hons) Food Business and Technology is the only food business degree in the Midland’s region and has been designed in conjunction with large local employers.
The food industry represents an important sector of the Irish economy. For example, the agri-food sector has an annual turnover in excess of €26bn, employing over 42,000 in processing alone. Food ingredients have driven the growth in Irish food and drink exports in recent years. In the past two decades, exports have more than doubled from €5.6 billion to €12.6 billion. Food processing and manufacturing is an exciting and multi-disciplinary area, which requires skills and competences in business, science and technology.
