Course Description

The Faculty of Agriculture and CAH Vilentum University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands have partnered to offer a new four-year, double degree International Food Business program. Graduates of this one-of-a-kind program will be awarded two degrees: a Bachelor of Business Administration from CAH Vilentum and a Bachelor of Agriculture International Food Business from Dalhousie. This exciting new double degree program offers a year of international study and two work terms: one in North America and one in Europe. In year one, North American students will study Dal and European students will study at CAH. Year two is offered in the Netherlands, where both groups of students will study together. This continues in year three when both groups of students study at Dal's Faculty of Agriculture at the Agricultural Campus in Truro, N.S. Students complete year four at their home university. This four-year "dual degree" program emphasizes its international focus by beginning with a one-week orientation in Iceland, where European and North American students get to know one another while exploring the Icelandic food industry. This unique program will appeal to students who enjoy studying independently, have an interest in business and are keen to explore the world.
