International study tour
As part of the first year, 'Entrepreneur in Action' you will be taken on a free international study tour. In the last three years students have visited Spain, Bulgaria and Germany. During these study tours you will visit agri-entrepreneurs and their businesses to learn about how they operate and explore their differing approach to business.

Students who cannot attend the study tour gain access to entrepreneurs through our Growth Hub and Farm491 networks.
