As the agri-food sector becomes more knowledge intensive, education  and skills development are even more critical for career success. This programme 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 programme that equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary for professional decision-making in agri-food business sectors in the global market, with particular reference to China.
