Plan Outline

The MSc by Coursework in Food Engineering is designed for graduates in Engineering or related disciplines who have an interest in the processing of biological resources for human consumption. The formal components of the program provide professional training at an advanced level in food engineering and food science. The studies in food engineering are designed to strengthen and broaden the engineering background of candidates and emphasise the use of fundamental principles in solving problems associated with food processing. Problem solving skills in engineering are developed further in a research project devoted to an area of food engineering.
