Food Business with Chinese Studies (Hons) University College Dublin

Overview

With Brexit and the uncertainty surrounding the UK market, it is critical for the industry to expand exports to emerging markets, particularly China. 

This requires improved foreign language capability, which we provide through a combination of fundamental food science and food business management modules, and language, cultural, and target market-oriented courses. So join the Food Business with Chinese Studies (Hons) programme at the University College Dublin. 

In third year, students study at Renmin University of China, taking Chinese language courses and other relevant modules, while experiencing the diverse culture and vibrant economic growth of China. 

By fourth year, students will have the knowledge and skills necessary for professional decision-making in agri-food business sectors in the global market, with particular emphasis on China.

Careers 

As the agri-food sector becomes more knowledge intensive, education and skills development are even more critical for career success. This course incorporates Chinese language and cultural components into the business skills and fundamental science required for managerial and professional careers in the agri-food sectors.

These elements, combined with an emphasis on learning to think analytically, result in a course that equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary for professional decision-making in agri-food business sectors in the global market, with particular relevance to China.
