Bord Bia Marketing Fellowship and Origin Green Ambassador programmes

The Bord Bia Marketing Fellowship and Origin Green Ambassador programmes are part of an innovative suite of talent development programmes run in conjunction with UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School which also serve to support the Irish food sector on a global scale.

The Bord Bia Marketing Fellowship Programme (MSc International Marketing Practice) commences in June 2017 and is recruiting 20 individuals. The 18-month action learning programme involves participants (Fellows) undertaking research and business development assignments on behalf of Irish food, drink and horticultural companies in 12 key international markets.
