College of Agriculture, Food And Rural Enterprise

CAFRE is an integral part of the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture and Rural Developments Service Delivery Group. The College supports the Agri-Food sector through industry training, knowledge & technology transfer, benchmarking and business development planning. CAFRE provides an accredited training course for those who do not have the required Level II qualification for the Young Farmers’/Regional Reserve scheme. This is a part-time course with normal attendance of one evening each week over a 20 week period.

Not all students live on campus, but those who do, enjoy modern, competitively-priced accommodation with an attractive range of amenities, which includes the use of laundry and recreational facilities. Priority for on-site accommodation is given to first year students and students with special needs. The residential accommodation at each campus provides a friendly, caring environment, where you can mix with other students, pursue cultural and sporting interests, and enjoy yourself. We are committed to ensuring that your transition into College life is as smooth as possible and we offer an attractive range of amenities, to allow you to pursue your interests while at College.
