The Food Science key program recognises that the manufacture of food is vital to Australia in terms of investment, export income and jobs growth. Within this framework there is a strong demand for practical food scientists who have skills in chemistry and microbiology and who can apply this knowledge to food processing, ensuring a safe, nutritious and appetising food supply. The course has strong food industry links and well-equipped facilities, which include a food processing pilot plant offering hands-on experience using industry standard equipment.
