The food industry is evolving to meet major challenges: feeding a growing population, improving food quality, reducing environmental impact and ensuring food safety. The Master of Science and Engineering in Innovation and Management in the Food Industry equips you with scientific expertise, practical industry experience and management skills to develop solutions that make a real difference.
Food systems are transforming rapidly under the pressure of sustainability, health, consumer expectations and technological innovation. This programme combines food science, engineering and management to help you understand every stage of the food value chain. Through laboratory work, industry projects and internships, you develop the skills needed to improve products, processes and production while meeting today’s environmental and quality standards.
Explore every stage of the food industry, from biochemistry and microbiology to food technology, quality management, nutrition, production management and sensory evaluation, while developing project management and business skills.
Work on real industry projects supervised by academic staff and food professionals to solve practical challenges.
Complete two internships to gain hands-on experience and build strong connections with the food industry.
Prepare for careers in food production, quality management, R&D, product development, bioprocesses and innovation.
