Food Chemistry
B.Sc.
Overview
The Bachelor's program in Food Chemistry provides a sound vocational education and training in the fundamentals of inorganic and organic chemistry, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry. This is rounded out by discipline-specific specialization in food chemistry and microbiology.
The aim is to develop sustainable strategies that meet society’s increasing need for healthy food and food security. The program is therefore structured in an interdisciplinary manner and, in addition to the core areas of the natural sciences, also deals with content from the life sciences.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
As a graduate, you possess sound knowledge of the natural sciences. You can use the techniques of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology to examine the food and commodities that are required on a daily basis. In addition, you are able to analyze and evaluate changes in food ingredients that take place during preparation, processing, and storage.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
Should you decide to embark on a professional career after the successful completion of your bachelor's degree, opportunities arise in food control, commercial laboratories, and the food industry. The cosmetics industry, as well as private and state research Institutes, offer further possible fields of employment.
