The Food Science and Engineering major at Nanjing Normal University is an undergraduate program that integrates science, technology, and engineering principles to study the production, processing, safety, and quality of food. The curriculum covers foundational subjects such as food chemistry, microbiology, nutrition, and biochemistry, alongside specialised courses in food processing and preservation, food engineering, food quality control, food safety standards, and packaging technology. Students learn how to analyse food components, evaluate safety and nutritional quality, design efficient processing methods, and apply engineering techniques to enhance food production and storage. Practical training through laboratory experiments, product development projects, and quality testing equips students with hands-on skills in food analysis, process optimisation, and problem-solving. Emphasis is placed on modern technologies and sustainable practices that improve food safety and meet consumer and industry standards. Graduates are well prepared for careers in the food and beverage industry, quality assurance, food product development, regulatory agencies, and research institutions, as well as for further study in food science, nutrition, and related fields.
