MS Food Research and Development

Students on the Master's degree programme in Food Research and Development at Leibniz Universit t Hannover gain extensive knowledge and skills in the development, quality assurance and marketing of traditional and novel food. In the process, consideration must be taken of food chemical, technological, nutritional, toxicological, food law and economic aspects. The degree programme is generally research-based, such as in the areas of process engineering, human nutrition and molecular food science. At the same time, the degree programme also puts a strong emphasis on practical applications, a typical element of this subject, e.g. in the areas of food system analysis, product development and food marketing. The wide range of compulsory elective modules available enables students to gear their area of specialisation towards their chosen career path. The practice-oriented nature of the degree programme, reflected in research-oriented practical training for instance, qualifies students to operate in the key areas of research, development, quality assurance and marketing in the food industry.
