Overview

About the Programme

A certified food science and technology engineer is skilled in the fields of production, technology, planning of operations, management of economic processes, development of products, quality assurance, tender-writing, and is capable of undertaking management tasks while taking into account technical and economic aspects. Food engineers are involved in the development of innovative applications in agricultural technology, biotechnology and processing of raw food materials to produce healthy food products. Between the 2nd and the 3rd semester there is a vocational practice (4 weeks) at multinational, local company or laboratory of food.

Students will acquire scientific and technical knowledge to develop healthy and nutritious food products by applying innovative technologies, as well as skills to promote and market them. Food engineers will be equipped with the necessary analytical skills to work on food security and food analytical projects. Students who graduate from the Faculty usually choose their careers in the sector of food and beverages at production companies; at research institutes, at biotechnological laboratories or international advisory companies.
