Ringkasan program

This major will prepare students to play an important role in meeting the expanding needs of the local and international food industries. The processed food and beverage industry is the largest manufacturing sector in Australia. With a world population of approximately eight billion people and growing, food is increasingly becoming a global issue. Students will build on a firm foundation in the basic sciences to develop sound skills and knowledge in food biotechnology or food science and technology. Career choices are vast and growing. These include research and product development, food safety and regulation, as well as quality assurance in a food processing company. Students can be employed by companies that support food manufacturers by supplying food additives and ingredients, processing equipment and packaging materials. If students have an interest in teaching and research, they can find rewarding careers in universities and research institutes. Career opportunities are not limited geographically and they may also find work with international bodies such as the Food and Agriculture Organization or the World Health Organization. Graduates are very well prepared for graduate studies in food science, which will lead to key roles in food production and product development. They will also be well-placed to apply for: professionally focused graduate degrees in the sciences and technology, including biotechnology, environmental systems, informatics, management science, and nanotechnology; graduate degrees preparing for a wide range of professions including engineering, law, medicine and other health sciences and teaching; and Masters and Honours pathways to research higher degrees in the sciences and technology within the Melbourne Graduate School of Science, Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Melbourne School of Engineering, Melbourne School of Land and Environment, and the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences.
