Food Chemist Courses

The Bachelor of Science (Food Science) centers on the intricacies of food chemistry, processing, preservation, and the impact of ingredients. Rooted in chemistry and biology, it offers insight into food component properties and their significance in nutrition. Students acquire the tools to enhance, conserve, and globally distribute nutritious foods. They will also collaborate with peers to introduce novel products, understand food structures, and master techniques of food safety, quality, and composition assessment.

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Food Science) offers an in-depth exploration of the intricate science behind food products and processes, catering specifically to the evolving needs of the food and agribusiness sector. This study is inherently interdisciplinary, bridging gaps with numerous domains within the life and environmental sciences. By pursuing this course, students will gain a holistic perspective, enriching their knowledge and equipping them with the expertise essential for innovating within the global food landscape.

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Food Technology) delves into the scientific foundations influencing food quality, safety, nutrition, processing, and storage. Drawing from disciplines such as chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, and microbiology, this course offers insights into the backbone of Australia's leading manufacturing sector – the food industry. Honours students undertake a dedicated project, enabling them to explore specific facets of food production, whether rooted in academic research or industry practice.
