Bachelor of Business in Agri-Business Management Atlantic Technological University - Mountbellew Campus, Ireland

Agriculture, food production and environmental management are just a few of Ireland’s key industries, and gaining a degree in this area opens up many career options. This programme will enable the learner to improve their general business knowledge and understanding and develop business skills, particularly as they apply to the rural enterprise and agri-business sector.

The aim of this degree is to provide the learner with a business education that emphasises the importance of agri-business management by developing an understanding of the theory, concepts and methods as well as the practical implementation of a range of skills and tools in these areas.
This programme meets the educational requirements for ‘Trained Farmer’ status for the purpose of farm inheritance, grant aids and tax exemptions.

Year 1 of the programme is common with the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Environmental Management. At the end of Year 1, students can choose whether they wish to pursue the Bachelor of Business in Agri-Business Management or the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Environmental Management.

Students mainly reside at Mountbellew for the first two years of this course. Years 3 and 4 are spent mainly at the ATU Galway City, Dublin Road campus.
