About

The Food Technology master's study program combines aspects of agricultural science, nutritional science, the engineering sciences, and natural sciences into a single interdisciplinary educational approach. The program has a primary focus on the design of production processes and the impact of the resulting physical, microbiological, and chemical changes on the structuring and preservation of food as well as on sensory analysis.

Further focuses of the study program are the extraction of basic substances from plant or animal source materials as well as ecological and economic aspects of responsibly handling resources.

The curriculum includes a large number of compulsory elective modules allowing students a high degree of flexibility and an opportunity to tailor their studies. The study program's interdisciplinary orientation allows you to further your knowledge in courses specifically offered through the program as well as in courses in related disciplines, such as biotechnology, energy and process engineering, or environmental science and technology.

The skills you acquire in the Food Technology masters program enable you to:

successfully formulate and execute innovation projects in the product fields and production and preparation process fields
successfully identify, plan, implement, and evaluate projects to improve existing products and processes in the food industry
successfully analyze causalities between product composition and process parameters and properties, and their evaluation and optimization
recognize and effectively exploit interactions between material properties and process engineering aspects and their effect on the functionality of food ingredients and food
evaluate ecological and ethical quality aspects during the manufacture and marketing of food
recognize, define, and adapt innovative basic and application-oriented fields of research
