The principal objective of the Program in Food Science and Biotechnology is to train students and make them as food technologists and engineers equipped with chemical and biological skills and engineering methodology for a comprehensive understanding of physicochemical properties of foods, processing and preservation of food materials, and biotechnological applications.
The undergraduate program emphasizes both basic principles and key technologies necessary for food and bio-industry. The curriculum is, therefore, designed to provide core courses such as food chemistry, food microbiology, food engineering, food processing, food preservation, food analysis, food biotechnology, and biochemical engineering. Organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, applied mathematics, biochemistry, and molecular biology are also required to pursue major courses.
NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements. It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
