Our new Bachelor of Science is reimagining science education with an increased focus on lifelong learning, personal development and career readiness.

Major: Food Science
Food is one of the few things in life we can’t live without. That’s why the industry is thriving. However, dynamic changes are happening around the world in response to food shortages, soil depletion, lack of rainfall, competition for land and global warming. As humans, we take our food for granted. Almost all the groceries we buy have undergone rigorous development processes to ensure that consumers get the best product possible.

Food science involves the understanding of fundamental sciences and the application of this knowledge from paddock to plate. It involves the study of production, handling, processing, preservation, distribution and marketing, through to consumption and utilisation by consumers. Food science is about understanding the composition of food and, in a way, ‘reinventing’ it. It could involve enhancing the taste, making it last longer, making sure it’s safe to eat or even boosting its nutritional content.
