An incredible opportunity you don’t want to miss!

Bord Bía are giving 70 graduates the chance to develop their professional and personal skills while working and learning among the very best in the food and drink industry.

Not only will those taking part be on their way to becoming a future leader in the Irish food and drink sector, they’ll be undertaking post-grad study to help boost the industry’s success even further, all while travelling around the globe. (Sounds sweet to us!)

So, Bord Bía are looking for graduates from all disciplines, so no matter what you’ve studied, it will stand to you. Fluency in a second language is a big bonus as it’s essential for some of the roles. Of course, you gotta love your food and drink too, but we assume, if you’re anything like us, that should be no problem at all.

Expert food and business educators from Harvard, IMD, NYU Stern and UCD Michael Smurfit School will guide you the entire way, teaching you all there is to know to succeed.

The scholarship includes an 18 month work placement that undoubtedly will bring incredible opportunities to you and the business you work with too. Graduates are encouraged to apply for the Post Graduate Diploma that offers opportunities within Bord Bía’s global network of offices.


If you’ve three to five years’ experience, the Masters programmes could be for you, and you’ll have the chance to work for leading Irish and international food and drink companies.

Past placements have included internationally based roles with companies including Kerry, Ornua, Teelings, Kepak, Starbucks, Nestle, Danone, Sainsbury’s, Diageo, Mars, Tesco, Marks & Spencer, Alibaba and more.

Not only this, but the full scholarship programme sees all tuition fees PAID. You’ll even receive a tax free bursary of up to €30,000 every 12 months to cover living expenses! (Hurrah!)

On top of all that, you’ll earn yourself an internationally recognised Masters or Post Graduate Diploma that will bring you unbelievable opportunity and success throughout your career, opening doors and paving a career path unlike any other.
