To maintain a harmonious balance between the demands of markets, society and
sustainability, it is important to ensure access to healthy and safe food in
consumer-oriented chains and to maintain sustainable production systems in a
vital environment. This requires knowledge about the functioning, organisation
and interactions between the subsystems (both production and consumption) in the
dynamic food chain. These subsystems are influenced by political, economic,
technological, socio-cultural and environmental factors. In order to understand
and address these complex issues, the changes in the dynamic food chain need to
be analysed and interpreted in an interdisciplinary context.
The Management, Economics and Consumer Studies programme aims to equip
students with the necessary skills to conduct managerial, economic,
environmental and sociological studies into the production and consumption of
food within households and businesses in a sustainable and dynamic environment
and to teach them to use an integrated approach.
Graduates of this programme will have:
a thorough understanding of the underlying
managerial, economic, environmental or sociological theory (depending on the
specialisation) and its application;
the knowledge and skills to formulate and solve
problems;
the knowledge and skills to make recommendations,
assessments and appropriate policy interventions in their selected
specialisation;
the skills to solve complex problems using an
integrated, interdisciplinary approach.
There are four specialisations:
Management studies, focuses on management
in agri-business and throughout the agri food chain, including primary
agriculture, the raw materials industry, the processing industry, financial
institutions, and whole salers and retailers.
Consumer studies, focuses on the
individual and the household (lifestyles and trends( and the factors
affecting consumer behaviour.
Economics, environment and policy, focuses
on issues relating to economic development, the agricultural sector and
rural areas within the European Union and developing countries,
environmental economics, natura resource management and environmental
quality, and international trade.
Life sciences, innovation and management,

is based on a broad spectrum of disciplines, such as the plant and animal
sciences, food sciences and technology.
