Overview

Bachelor of Science - Food Science

Careers in food science are diverse and challenging: one day, you could be developing a new food product, and the next, you could solve technical issues on a processing line.

Food scientists develop and improve ways to process raw ingredients – including grains, meats, milk, fruit and vegetables – into safe, tasty and nutritious foods.

The study of food science is multidisciplinary. 

It involves biology, chemistry, nutrition, microbiology and engineering, as well as the latest research in the handling, processing and packaging of foods – from the farm to the consumer’s plate.

This degree has been created to provide a pathway to a professional career or further study in the fields of food sciences and food securities. 

There are also career options in research related to food and nutrition in health and disease.
