Sugar Refining Engineering at Jiangnan University is a specialised master’s program offered within the School of Biotechnology that prepares students to understand and innovate in the technical processes used to convert raw sugars into high-purity, refined sugar products and related sugar-derived ingredients. It combines principles of food science, chemical engineering, and industrial processing to teach how sugar is produced, purified, processed and quality-controlled on a large industrial scale, including key unit operations, process optimisation, and energy-efficient technologies relevant to the sugar industry and allied food sectors. Graduates gain advanced knowledge useful for careers in sugar production companies, food manufacturing, fermentation-based industries, and research roles focused on sustainable and efficient carbohydrate processing. The program typically lasts three years and is available in English-taught formats for international students.
