Introduction
University College Cork (UCC), in association with Teagasc has developed a part-time, blended learning Postgraduate Certificate in Dairy Technology and Innovation.
UCC has over 90 years’ experience in dairy science education and, together with Teagasc Food
Research Centre, Moorepark, the greater Cork area now has one of the largest and most active dairy
research clusters in the world. UCC and Teagasc have a long history of collaboration as recognised
by a strategic alliance (UCC-Teagasc Food Innovation Alliance) to build greater critical mass in food
research.
Drawing on these strengths and in light of industry’s needs, UCC and Teagasc have decided to develop
and launch this programme. In line with the development of a knowledge economy, the qualification
will enable and empower dairy industry personnel and those wishing to join the industry to implement
best practice and embrace new technological developments in dairy processing.
