Applications have opened for the AgInnovation masters programme at University of Galway.
The one-year, part-time Level 9 masters aims to offers a practical path to diversification, innovation, and long-term sustainability for farmers.
Some of the key features of the programme include: a 90% subsidy for those in employment; 100% funded for those who are currently unemployed; and blended learning with both on-line (two hours/week) and on-campus days (10 Saturdays).
Programme director Prof John Breslin, from Fanore, Co Clare said farmers across Ireland are already innovating but often they’re doing it on their own.
“This programme gives them structure, support, and the confidence to take their ideas further. Graduates have gone on to launch their businesses on a local, national and international platform.”
Applications
There are 30 places available in the programme. Participants can apply on the University of Galway website before the deadline of 5pm on Wednesday 31 July.
The masters programme will also provide mentoring, peer support, and practical learning, allowing its participants to explore entrepreneurship, sustainability, agri-diversification, digital tools, and funding.
A previous participant said: “If I kept doing what I’d always done, I’d keep getting the same results. The farm needed something new, and so did I. My family did too.”
