Overview

The BSc (Hons) in Agricultural Science and Sustainability is designed to produce graduates with knowledge and skills in agriculture, with a strong focus on sustainability. The programme provides a solid theoretical foundation for understanding complex agricultural and environmental phenomena within a sustainable development context, while emphasizing the practical application of knowledge and skills in agri-business and on-farm settings. Agriculture and food represent a vital and expanding sector in the Irish economy, with sustainability increasingly important. The demand for environmental and sustainability managers within the agribusiness sector continues to grow. This degree develops graduates with expertise in managing agriculture’s interaction with the environment, equipping them to take advantage of emerging employment opportunities. The course provides practical skills through laboratory work, fieldwork, and farm experience, alongside personal development subjects that support workplace success. In the second semester of year three, students participate in a work placement to enhance practical experience. Year four includes studies in atmospherics, carbon management, and soil management, essential for developing sustainable agricultural systems. Graduates are prepared for a range of roles in agriculture, agri-food, and environmental management, including positions as agricultural advisors, farm auditors, environmental officers or scientists in agribusinesses, the public sector, and NGOs, as well as careers in research and consultancy. Graduates achieve provisional ‘Trained Farmer Status’ (Green Cert), and the programme also meets Teaching Council requirements for Agricultural Science. To work as a Farm Advisor submitting plans and payment claims to the Department of Agriculture for farmer clients, graduates must be listed on the Department’s Farm Advisory System (FAS). Requirements for listing include a Level 8 degree in Agricultural Science and completion of FAS training.
