General description
Modern food production involves a broad range of advanced technologies and a multi-disciplinary approach. The area of food science and technology is currently undergoing a revolution, where technologies from areas such as food safety, biotechnology, microbiology, biochemical enzyme technology, functional foods, nutrigenomics, and production technology and management disciplines are incorporated into traditional food production. This introduces new and complex technologies into the production and handling of food products, raising the demand for highly educated specialists in food science and technology.
After completing this MSc education, you will be able to combine traditional and new food technologies to meet the highest standards of food production and food safety. You will be able to satisfy future demands for healthy, safe, sustainable, ethical and attractive food products in a global context.
Food technology at DTU is a cross-disciplinary education involving a number of different departments and includes components of microbiology, biochemistry and engineering, thus enhancing both the general and specific skills that you will acquire.
You can construct your own educational profile by choosing from a wide range of relevant courses. Our study-line on food production, innovation and management, which combines management and food production competencies, is the only such course available.
