The BAgrSc Dairy Business programme aims to provide students with a high level of scientific, technical and business knowledge and skills relevant to those entering the dairy industry. We encourage our students to think critically, be active, motivated, autonomous learners and our ambition is to foster lifelong learning, leadership, and individual and career growth. We aim to provide learning environments that integrate teaching, research, assessment and learning, individually and through group activities so as to develop leadership, critical and reflective practice, effective communication and enquiry skills. The diversity of learning environments (off campus, classroom, work placement) and methods ensure that students have a stimulating learning experience, which should equip them with the skills necessary to provide professional leadership and support for this expanding and dynamic dairy industry.
