Food Technology
B.Sc.
Overview
The Bachelor's program Food Technology deals with all aspects of the industrial production of food. Engineering, biological, technological, biochemical and economic processes are considered. This course covers a wide range of food production requirements:
- Purchasing and assessment of raw materials
- Organization and optimization of various production steps
- Establishment of quality assurance systems in the manufacturing process
- Planning and reconstruction of production plants and supply facilities
- Control of analytical and sensory product properties
- Development of innovative and individual products, adapted to consumer behavior
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
Graduates of the Bachelor's program Food Technology are able to …
- produce food in accordance with hygienic and legal requirements
- plan and realize production plants for food products
- understand and adapt process steps in food production
- plan and monitor industrial supply facilities and to use biotechnological methods for food production
- examine foodstuffs chemically, microbiologically, sensory and technically
- evaluate the economic efficiency of food production processes
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
Most students follow the consecutive Master's program Food Technology with the Bachelor's program. Graduates find jobs primarily in the food and beverage industry, as well as in related plant construction. The possible tasks in the later occupation could be:
- Organization, monitoring and optimization of production and manufacturing processes
- Quality assurance during routine production
- Organization of the associated operating technology

Structure
The program is designed as a full-time study program. The standard period of study is six semesters (180 credits). The majority of the module catalogue consists of compulsory modules (149 credits). The Bachelor's program is divided into the following sections:
Basic and orientation examination (1st – 2nd semester): A sound scientific understanding is created in this training section. The basic subjects include biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics.
Bachelor's examination (3rd – 6th semester): In this part of the course, students specialize in engineering sciences and food technology. Important subjects in the Bachelor's examination are e.g. technical mechanics, apparatus construction, biochemistry, microbiology, food chemistry and food technology. Laboratory internships combine theory and practice.
