Love food? Curious to know what’s in it? Better still, ever wondered if you can create the next big thing? Check out the Diploma in Food Science & Technology (DFST)!
Blazing the trail for food scientists and technologists since 1972, Singapore Polytechnic is proud to continue this tradition of training manpower for the food industry. The Diploma in Food Science & Technology course has grown from conventional teaching methods through practicals, assignments, project work and industrial attachments to infusing our graduates with a global mindset via the Overseas Industrial Training Programme or Overseas Immersion Programme.
In addition, our students are empowered to tap on their creativity, innovation and enterprise to develop food products which had resulted in launches of products like Pokka Lemonsi Delight, Elderflower Tea, XO Kaya, Oodles Noodles, Yamie Rice, Rainbow Rice and many other products. DFST students also displayed their competence, teamwork and communication with the recent launch of SP’s very own coffee blend at the School of Coffee café on its campus!
DFST students can also expect to find mentors in their personal tutors, who are on hand to offer a listening ear or to help them hone their personal and social effectiveness. Our students also get to display their ethics and responsibility and to reciprocate the care and concern for others, through participation in the Overseas Community Service. Most importantly, future DFST graduates will be armed with Design Thinking to raise their sensibility to their customers and their future work environment, so that they can rise to the challenges of a dynamic career in the food industry!
