Plan Structure

Program 3065, Honours in Food Science, provides students with the opportunity to pursue research-oriented study in some area of specialisation within the spectrum of food science and technology. Students will, through pursuit of this course, develop or enhance their skills in independent laboratory performance, literature search and synthesis, and written and oral communication. It also provides academic staff with a measure of the aptitude of students to pursue and ultimately describe independent, laboratory-based research, and consequently the likelihood of such students to gain scholarship support and to successfully pursue higher degree research.

The major component of the course is the subject FOOD9410 Honours Research Project. Within this subject, students undertake a program of independent laboratory-based research, completing a review of the relevant literature, presenting seminars, and finishing with submission of a thesis-style report, based on their research findings. Further details of this subject are outlined in Section 3. In addition, students must complete 6 UOC of subjects relevant to their chosen area of study, which may or may not, but will normally be taken within Food Science and Technology. The subject/s chosen will normally be negotiated between the student, supervisor and Program Authority. In order to gain a graded level of Honours (i.e. Honours I, II/I or II/II), rather than a Pass mark, the coursework component of the course must be completed to Credit level, in line with UNSW policy.
