Objective
The “Agrifood marketing and sales” master’s programme aims to train future executives capable of promoting sales within agribusinesses, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small and medium-sized industries (SMI), in different distribution networks such as supermarkets and hypermarkets.
Organized as a work-study programme, this course gives students extensive professional experience, which is a real asset for their professional integration. Students sign an apprenticeship contract with their host enterprise. Throughout the training course, IFRIA and the teaching directors of the master’s programme provide individualized support.
The programme aims to equip students with the following skills:
- mastery of management tools, marketing, sales
- autonomous management of a commercial sector
- sales techniques
- sales team management
- mastering the specific features of the agrifood sector at national and international levels
- mastering the legal rules of commerce and sales
- knowledge of global agrifood markets
The “Agrifood marketing and sales programme” was set up by the Institut de Formation Régional des Industries Agro-Alimentaires (IFRIA - Occitanie), a regional training institute specialized in the agrifood industry, which chose Montpellier SupAgro and Montpellier Management/University of Montpellier as partners to organize and provide the training from the bachelor (Licence 3) to master’s (Master 2) level.
