This one year add-on course aims to give students with BSc (Level 7) degrees in Forestry or other relevant ordinary degree (Level 7) the opportunity to obtain an Honours (level 8) degree in their respective disciplines. Using the invaluable expertise of both the School of Science and School of Business together with input from Teagasc, the course aims to increase the student’s knowledge while also improving the students business acumen.
