Introduction

The study programme

Like many agricultural businesses, poultry farms have grown considerably. They have turned into fully-fledged companies that often operate on an international scale. This means they are managed on the basis of cost effectiveness and profitability. At the same time, they have to take into account globalization, cultural differences, animal welfare standards, disease, environmental change and legislation. Our exchange programme in International Poultry Management provides you with an international learning experience and the opportunity to add value to your undergraduate programme. It is part of a bachelor’s degree programme with the same name and teaches you all there is to know about managing and developing poultry farms, either as an owner, a manager or an advisor.
