Food Technology and Nutrition

The programme of study aims to meet the needs of graduate engineers who will work as professionals in government and agro-industrial sectors at an advanced level thanks to advanced theoretical studies, given in a practical technological context.

The degree gives eligibility to studies at the doctoral level. 

After completed studies, you will have achieved:

• A general competence in food technology and nutrition on an advanced level (2nd cycle) based on the compulsory courses
• Communications skills by practising written and oral presentations of small projects together with discussions
• In-depth knowledge in areas of specialisation, based on a choice of optional courses in natural  and  engineering sciences, and the degree project, in:
  
  o        Product and process design
  o        Functional foods/Nutrition
  o        Food analyses and safety
   
• The ability to:

o  Individually plan, execute and evaluate practical experiments;
o  Use theoretical models to describe physical and chemical processes, and to assess the applicability and limitations of these models in various contexts;
o  Choose and design technologies for the industrial manufacture of high quality food products, with due regard to raw materials, energy, economics and sustainability;
o   Design food products with high sensory properties and nutritional quality
