Agribusiness Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences

Overview

The programme

Agriculture is a booming business. But global competition, resource scarcity and increasing demand are challenging the sector in new ways. For companies to remain competitive, they will need talented specialists who are well-versed not only in the state of agricultural and food industries, but also understand the issues driving regional development, sustainability management and environmental policy.

During your studies you will explore in great detail how companies can not only navigate rising consumer expectations in the food industry and increasingly complex production logistics, but do so and thrive. As part of your studies, you will even practice building your own company. Close ties with regional agribusiness and agricultural institutions both in Germany and abroad ensure that the knowledge and skills you acquire in this degree programme are practical and oriented towards real industry application. This practical element is combined with a solid theoretical foundation, ensuring you have the necessary academic skills to pursue a master’s degree if you decide to.
