Master of Global Food and Nutrition Science New
Feed the world
Creating safe, nutritious, sustainable, and equitable food systems is a growing global challenge. New ways of thinking and problem-solving are needed to secure and stabilise our future. Make the most of your talent for chemistry and engineering by developing sought-after specialist skills and become a leader in this expanding field.
What will you do?
Our Master of Global Food and Nutrition Science is technology and innovation focused, with global relevance at all levels. You will:
- expand your knowledge of nutrigenomics and metabolic nutrition
- apply sensory and flavour science to new product development
- investigate emerging processing and preservation techniques
- consider value-adding and reformulation advances
- deep dive into current food trends and opportunities for industry
- critically evaluate local, national, and international legislative and regulatory policy
- tackle issues of equity and social justice
- build peer relationships in your own learning space, within the University’s dedicated Food Innovation Laboratory
- complete an independent capstone research project.
Where could it take you?
You might become a leading scientist in wood-derived fibre alternatives or de-stigmatise insects for eating. You could change the future of sustainable packaging. Perhaps you’ll revolutionise first foods for infants or be an expert in antimicrobial resistance.*Academic Ranking of World Universities by Subject, 2021
