Course content
This programme is aimed at students who want to learn more about food and who want to work with innovative future foods, for instance as a part of the solution to major health issues such as malnutrition and obesity. The programme covers the design and production of foods with health benefits. You will learn about subjects such as food chemistry, food processing, surface and colloid chemistry, microbiology, nutrition and food analysis. It is also possible for students to choose courses with a focus on environment and sustainability.
The programme is closely aligned to market needs and there is a strong emphasis on engineering sciences. During your studies, you will meet not only world-leading researchers within the department, but also guest lecturers from various food companies working with, for example, product development and marketing. Our links to local industry are strong and our focus on innovation is high; many of our researchers have converted research results into successful entrepreneurial enterprises, such as Oatly, OptiCept, Veg of Lund, Probi and Solve.
Courses feature both theoretical and practical learning, and we ensure our students understand both the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of the subjects they study. Many projects are highly product-focused, and often include visits to local companies as well as industry advisors who help guide students through their projects. In order to cope with the programme, we recommend that the students have knowledge of unit operations, thermodynamics and laboratory skills from their Bachelor’s degree.
