One moment you are doing the books and figures, the next you are standing in a field or inside the greenhouse. This typifies the Bachelor’s programme Business Administration & Agribusiness. We will train you to be the ideal discussion partner for agricultural entrepreneurs, with knowledge of plants and animals, but also, and especially, knowledge of innovative management. Financial matters, logistical challenges, marketing and sales: all of these will be addressed, with plenty of examples from the field, as Venlo is an agricultural hotspot full of innovative agricultural companies.

Researching sales opportunities for a fruit and vegetables importer, doing market research for a dairy products processor or calculating the financial consequences of an investment for an agricultural entrepreneur – these are some of the questions students are posed from the professional field. There is never any need to spend a long time looking for a project; students are very welcome in the countless agricultural companies in and around Venlo!
