Overview
Overview
The Food Science Specialisation focuses on the composition of foods, the ingredient interactions under different processing conditions to develop new food products. The specialisation will provide students with in-depth knowledge on food chemistry and the impact of processing on food products. Students may also undertake a work placement with an external organisation to gain hands on experience.
