Overview

Master of Science (Food Science and Technology)

The food industry is one of the largest in the world. 

Its growth, particularly in the export market, requires a high level of technology and professionally trained individuals to apply that technology.

Curtin's postgraduate courses in this discipline can offer diverse and challenging careers.

The courses provide professional training to those employed in the food industry and those in science fields such as agriculture, nutrition, engineering, environmental health and consumer science.

This course extends the learning of the graduate diploma to incorporate an independent research project under the guidance of an experienced supervisor. 

To ensure you are ready to undertake this project, you will be introduced to health research methods and learn to measure, interpret and describe the data effectively.

It is ideal for those wishing to increase their professional status or diversify their career opportunities.

Academic background and requirement

A bachelor's degree in an appropriate field or equivalent 

You usually require a bachelor's degree or advanced diploma, but, in certain cases, relevant work experience may be recognised.

Many of the courses require students to comply with additional essential requirements. 

Failure to comply with any of the essential requirements may prevent the course's successful completion and/or achieving professional registration.

  • Communicable diseases
  • Criminal record screening and clearance

You may have already studied some of the units (subjects) listed in your Curtin course at another educational institution, or you may have work experience that matches the degree requirements.

A successful CRL application exempts you from completing certain units within your course and means you could finish your degree in a shorter time.
