Bachelor of Agribusiness and Business Administration
Introduction
A business for multitalented people
Like so many other sectors, agriculture is evolving fast. And naturally, so is the trade in farm produce. Not only is it characterised by rapid technological development, it also takes place on an increasingly global scale. In short, it is an ideal arena for top-level agribusiness managers - experts in buying and selling. People like you, perhaps.
Altogether, farming covers an enormous sector and accounts for a large flow of goods. From seeds to crops, from machinery to animal feeds, everything the sector needs or produces has to be bought, transported, and sold.
To work successfully in this sector, you will need a variety of personal qualities. In agribusiness, a wide range of situations can arise in a single day, and it takes talent to manage them. That is why, rather than focusing on traditional types of academic knowledge, the programme stresses professional competencies: problem identification, problem solving, communication skills, processing information, teamwork - everything you really need to make a difference.
