Faculty of Science and Technology
Bachelor of Science with Honours (Food Science and Nutrition)
PROGRAMME SUMMARY
Food Science and Nutrition Programme combines aspects of food science and nutrition. The study of food science involves food production, processing, preservation, marketing and food quality. The nutrition aspects, on the other hand, involve the consumption and use of nutrients. The combined effects of both food science and nutrition will produce food products that are nutritious and of quality in a systematic and dynamic manner. This programme is designed to produce graduates who are not only able to contribute to the food industry but also help in addressing issues and problems regarding food science and nutrition at the international level. Students will undergo a compulsory industrial training at food companies or research institutes and also carry out independent research to acquire research experience in the laboratory. In addition, this programme also involves research collaborations with institutes such as Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI), Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM).
