Future
The quality of food can be described in sensory characters but the potential for opening up information on product properties such as sustainability, health and ethics is considerable because it is of great importance for the consumer and thus for the food sector. Practical problems related to these aspects are integrated in the courses.
The job prospects, after finalizing this programme, are related to product and business development in private or public organizations, for example as a manager, researcher, consultant, entrepreneur or civil servant. During the programme students will do projects in the food sector which will enhance student motivation, employability and generic skills. The programme will also give opportunities in teaching, journalism and for a career in the developing world.
