OVERVIEW
Be a part of the team that designs food to excite the taste and imagination through food science and technology. Come join the ranks of food scientists and technologists to launch innovative new products to meet the needs of today’s ever curious and adventurous consumers!
Through Design Thinking, innovative teaching and industry-linked projects, you will discover the world of food – from raw materials to ingredients, processes and packaging to finished consumer products! As a food scientist or technologist, you can play an important role in making our foods more appealing yet healthier and safer!
Come journey through the Diploma in Food Science & Technology (DFST) on a D.I.E.T. (Discover, Integrate and Express with Technology) of basic science modules and food mysteries in Year 1.
In Year 2, you will integrate your food science knowledge by ideating food concepts, performing sensory evaluation and conducting shelf-life studies, to transform raw materials into consumer focused end-products.
In Year 3, you can reduce food wastage and sustain future food products through process development and packaging design. Do all this by choosing your DFST path on the D.I.E.T. or by grabbing a B.I.T.E. (Business design Infused with Technology Experience).
With so many choices, what’s holding you back from choosing DFST?
