Course Overview
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 rural enterprise and agri-business 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.
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.

Testimonial
“Initially considering accounting, my upbringing on a dairy and beef farm in Laois led me to a course blending business with agriculture at ATU Mountbellew. University life required more independence, but ATU’s supportive atmosphere at both campuses eased the transition. Spending most days in Mountbellew and commuting weekly to ATU Galway (Dublin Road) fostered strong class bonds and friendships.
The course was enriching, offering practical experiences from digital business projects to farm-based learning. Student life was vibrant, with diverse learning and social opportunities across campuses. Completing my industry placement at Stradbally Town and Country and now working at FTMTA, the national trade body of the Irish Farm Machinery Industry, underscores how ATU prepared me for a career bridging agriculture and business.”
