Master of Science in Bioscience Engineering: Food Science and Nutrition
High-quality foods that are at once safe, healthy and sustainable: this is our study programme’s main focus. Supply and demand for foods is in constant evolution, as is society. The food chain is in transition: it diversifies and reorganizes itself on a local as well as an international level.
