A Masters degree is an academic degree awarded to individuals who successfully denote a higher level of expertise. There are two main types of Masters - taught and research.

What is Food Science?
Food science studies food and how it relates to the environment, society, and economy. It includes the study of food production, processing, safety, and nutrition. Food science also encompasses the study of foodborne illness and contamination.

What can I do with a degree in Food Science?
A degree in food science can lead to a career in the food industry, working in areas such as food production, processing, safety, and nutrition. Food science graduates may also work in the area of foodborne illness and contamination research. There are opportunities for those with a background in food science to work in government agencies or private companies that are involved in the regulation of the food industry. Food science graduates may pursue careers in academia, teaching and conducting research at universities and colleges.

Why study Food Science?
Food science is important for several reasons. It helps us understand how food affects our health and the environment, which can help improve food production and processing methods, ensuring food we eat is safe and nutritious. By studying food science, we can also learn more about how to prevent and control foodborne illness. Finally, food science helps us understand the complex economic and social factors that impact food production and consumption.

Food Science degrees
Food science degrees are offered at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Undergraduate programs typically last for four years and cover topics such as food chemistry, microbiology, and nutrition. Graduate programs usually last for two years and include coursework in advanced food science topics encompassing food physics and engineering.

From a global perspective, we are far from being able to supply all people with food in such a way that they can lead an active and healthy life. Nutrient deficiency, malnutrition in its tremendous variety as well as planetary, social, and cultural determinants of health are serious issues and central challenges of the 21st century. These global health problems are primarily not a request to medicine, but rather to the nutrition and health sciences and to the industry and politics implementing them. -

El sector agroalimentario es estratégico en un gran número de países del mundo. Esto se debe a que es una importante fuente de riqueza y empleo, y garantiza el suministro de alimentos. Además, las actividades agrícola y ganadera tienen un gran impacto sobre el medio ambiente y la ocupación del territorio. Aunque el medio rural se ha diversificado, sigue estando muy ligado a la agricultura, tanto económicamente como a través de los paisajes que crea y la cultura que genera, y su desarrollo sigue suponiendo un gran desafío. Adicionalmente, los mercados de materias primas agrícolas tienden a la inestabilidad. -

The Course of Food Science and Nutrition is an integrative discipline, in which the principles of biological and physical science are used to study the nature of foods and the consumption and utilization aspects of food and its constituents. Students enrolled in this program are encouraged to study subjects from the molecular level to health and environmental issues relating to food. Through the programs offered in the Food Science and Nutrition course, students are expected to understand the roles of nutrients in supporting vital functions or life functions, the principles underlying the processing and preparing of food, and toxicology. They are also to gain the laboratory disciplines and application skills in biotechnology, toxicology, microbiology, biochemistry, and nutritional sciences. Such knowledge and skills prepare them to work in the food industry in research and development of food products and processes, to serve in government regulatory agencies as food specialists and health advisors, and to find positions in academic institutions as teachers and researchers. Graduates find employment in food and health-related industries and in governmental agencies and laboratories. Those who are certified as junior and senior high school teachers find positions in schools as a teacher of home economics. Some graduates enter the Ph.D. course of food science, nutritional science, and biological sciences. -
