According to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestries, Australia has an international reputation as being a producer of modern, safe, reliable and sustainable food. In Australia, the food industry represents around 20% of domestic manufacturing sales and service income. The Bachelor of Food Science and Technology prepares students to make their mark in this rapidly expanding field by building the skills to help transform the global food economy.
Course content emphasises technology-led innovation and the development of new food products and systems, combining biotechnology and specialist food science subjects with targeted cross-faculty electives.
Why UTS Science?
UTS Science, one of Australia's leading university science faculties, is committed to scientific advancement that creates a more sustainable world. When students study with UTS, they join a university that delivers global impact in STEM education and research and a faculty that produces scientists with the power to transform the profession.
Course features
- Students complete a series of common core subjects that underpin all undergraduate UTS Science degrees. Design, Data, and Decisions and Scientific Perspectives for Global Issues are designed to equip students with a toolkit of technical and workplace skills, preparing them to thrive both at and after uni.
- Specialist food science subjects emphasise the science behind food products and their development, including specialist food technology subjects and related learning in biochemistry, biotechnology and biobusiness.
- Capstone project: In their final year, students draw on all their skills to develop a novel food product from concept through to formulation, development and market testing.
- Free electives: Students can customise the degree to suit their personal or career aspirations. They can enrol in an international exchange, pursue a professional internship, or tailor the degree with a choice of subjects from choice of subjects from UTS Science, Law or Design, Architecture and Building.
Course aims
A standalone food technology degree
With its focus on the whole food system and the circular economy, the Bachelor of Food Science and Technology is unique in New South Wales. Students gain hands-on expertise in technological approaches to food product and systems development, preparing them to meet growing demand for qualified food technologists in Australia and beyond.
Customisable learning
Students can use their elective subjects to deepen their scientific expertise or to expand their learning beyond the bounds of UTS Science. These include The Bio Kitchen, with its focus on the creation of novel biomaterials, and Intellectual Property and Commercialisation, which introduces students to the legal considerations of bringing new ideas to market.
Study in purpose-built facilities
As a university of technology, UTS is known for its commitment to practice-based teaching and the integration of new technologies into course design and development. Students learn in the world-class Hive Superlab and UTS Science Superlab, two tech-driven learning environments that support simultaneous teaching of multiple classes in a single collaborative space. Dedicated food processing and sensory laboratories will allow students to hone their skills in food processing, production and product design.
