BA/BS in International Food Business at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada is a bachelor's degree in Agribusiness programme. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 30,906 per year (CAD 9,570 per year for local students).
International Food Business is a four-year undergraduate program delivered through a dual-degree, dual-campus model. Students complete years one and three at Dalhousie's Faculty of Agriculture in Truro and Bible Hill, spend year two studying at Aeres University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, and complete year four at their home institution. The structure is designed so that students graduate with two credentials in four years, combining business administration and agricultural science study. The curriculum uses a modular format with clustered courses and semester-long projects rather than a conventional single-course schedule, and includes two required internships, one based in Europe and one in North America. Coursework progresses from foundational subjects such as microeconomics and business principles toward specialized topics including food law, product development, international marketing, and agribusiness value chain management. The program suits students interested in international agribusiness and food systems who want overseas study experience and applied work terms built directly into their degree, preparing graduates for careers in agribusiness, food marketing, international trade, supply chain management, or food policy.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:75.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The International Food Business (BAgr) page sets a minimum overall average of 75% and requires Academic English 12 and Academic Math 12, plus three further academic Grade 12 subjects. The page states that admission to many Dalhousie programs is competitive, so meeting the 75% minimum does not guarantee a seat. No programme-specific language-test score is published; international applicants are subject to Dalhousie's institution-wide English proficiency requirement, for example IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 overall with no section below 20, unless exempt. No portfolio, interview or other non-academic condition is stated on the page. The programme begins in September.
