Iupfood - MSc Food Technology

The InterUniversity Programme Master of Science in Food Technology (IUPFOOD) is jointly organized by UGent and KU Leuven Why study Food Technology?

The overall objective of IUPFOOD is to provide multi-disciplinary and specialized academic training in the field of food technology. IUPFOOD intends to equip future alumni with the scientific, technical and managerial knowledge, skills and attitudes which they require to contribute successfully to solving problems related to food security through the production of safe foods of high quality. Altho

ugh oriented towards international students in general, the IUPFOOD programme in particular recruits students from the South (countries in Africa, Asia and South America) where food/nutrient security (delivering enough nutritious, high-quality safe foods) is a current and future major concern and key challenge. Two technological dimensions of crucial importance in food processing and preservation are the key objectives and programme options in IUPFOOD:
1) Postharvest and food preservation engineering, with focus on the role of postharvest and food preservation unit operations in delivering safe and nutritious foods, in particular plant based foods, to the end consumer;
2) Food science and technology, with focus on the transformation of raw materials in products for human consumption or in intermediate ingredients for further use in the food industry.
