Undergraduate programs

The Food Science & Technology unit offers three programs at Bachelor level, each suited to particular interests in food science, and reflecting the breadth of career options once you've finished studying. If you've already completed a science degree at UNSW or elsewhere, you might consider Honours as a means of gaining food experience as well as independent laboratory-based research experience.

The links below provide you with general descriptions of the different programs. The 'Introduction' links on the right sidebar describe the suitability of each program relevant to your potential career choices, and the 'Year' links provide information about each year of each program and further links to handbook descriptions of each course in each of the programs.

If you're interested in more detailed descriptions of any or all of the courses, these are provided as course outlines.
