Applications for UCC Diploma in Speciality Food Production Open

July 21, 2020 by Irish Food Awards

Are you passionate about developing a food business?

UCC are now taking applications for the next cycle of UCC’s part-time Diploma in Speciality Food Production.

Past participants have described this course as invaluable and would strongly recommend it to those starting or developing artisan and speciality food businesses. Many graduates have gone on to develop successful food enterprises.

The diploma starts in October 2020 and will run on a part-time basis until May 2021. The programme is typically delivered over two days, every three weeks, and consists of lectures in conjunction with practical’s, case studies, site visits and workshops. NOTE: Due to current COVID 19 restrictions, it may be necessary to deliver part, or all of entire programme using a suite of on-line tools.

The fee for the diploma is €2800 and funding (64% of the fee) is available for eligible applicants.

An application form and more information can be obtained from Dr Angela Sheehan, Programme Manager, a.sheehan@ucc.ie or by visiting www.ucc.ie/en/fitu.
