Food Engineering
Programme Introduction
The undergraduate degree in Food Engineering has as a main purpose to graduate professionals with skills to play an active role in the development, implementation, improvement and management of food transformation processes, in the quality control of food products, distribution and in the implementation of food safety management systems.
Another objective of the proposed study cycle is to train professionals able to conduct food development projects in an integrated and multidisciplinary way. Graduates will have the skills needed for immediate participation in the industry/consultancy areas or for post graduate degree enrolment.
