About the Programme
M.Sc. in Food Science and Technology is a two-year postgraduate programme focused on advancing students fundamental knowledge of food processing food production and food safety. This programme introduces students to specific food nutritional content and encourages them to identify other alternative sources of it.
M.Sc. Food Science and Technology also enlightens students with the genetic engineering of plants and crops. The programme encompasses advanced techniques for exploring how agricultural harvest can be transformed into fuel sources.
In addition the programme also includes a significant level of industrial learning giving students the opportunity to boost their specialist professional skills facilitate independent learning and implement a reflective and practical approach to practice.
Under this programme students gain a close perspective of real-world problems to food science and technology. Students interested in more detailed learning of the subject can apply for higher education.
