ABOUT THE FOOD TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMME

The Food Technology programme is designed with an aim to groom students in areas related to the field of Food Science, Nutrition, and Technology. 

The programme offers a curriculum highlighting Food Processing Technology, combining food science, food product development, and food business, and equips students with the fundamentals of food science and applied food technology skills required for a career in the food industry. 

Students will learn not only in the classroom but through practical laboratories and internships, and industrial visits that focus on industry problems and solutions. Students will obtain hands-on experience in industrial-standard food processing plants.

Studying Food Technology opens the doors to a wide range of career options.
