Programme Description
Wageningen University is one of the leading centres in Food Science and Technology in Europe and the world.
The history of the Food Technology programme at Wageningen University goes back more than 50 years; it is considered to be one of the best and most innovative programmes in its field in Europe. Wageningen University also offers high-level courses and research in all areas of food science, ranging from advanced technical fields such as Molecular Biology to fields with a more economic or sociological focus such as Marketing and Consumer Wishes. The Wageningen Food Science faculty is larger than that at any other European university, and includes professors and lecturers from a wide range of departments: Food Chemistry, Food Physics, Food Microbiology, Product Design and Quality Management, Food Process Engineering and Toxicology.

Specialisation European Masters Degree in Food Studies
This is an international specialisation which focuses on an industrial career. Students in this specialisation take in the first year of the MSc courses in four different European countries and in the second year work on an industrial thesis at a major European Food Industry, followed by a final course in Wageningen.
This specialisation is limited to 20 students. Therefore an additional selection procedure is applied after admission to the Food Technology programme.
The courses are coded as follows : AAA-xyyzz, with AAA the teaching group ('department') responsible for the course (for example FCH=Food Chemistry, FHM=Food Microbiology), x indicates the level of the course (1=basic, 2=intermediate, 3=advanced), yy is an arbitrary number, zz indicates the number of credits in ECTS. One academic year has 60 ECTS (ECTS=European Credits).
