The food industry is continuously expanding, opening new avenues to those with the right skills to meet emerging workplace demands. Aimed at graduates in the fields of engineering, processing, food technology or food science, this specialisation expands on technical principles. It encompasses the realms of analysis and optimisation, resulting in the development of new products and the improvement of operational systems, nutritional composition, preservation and packaging.

This specialised Master of Engineering Studies in Food Engineering is aimed at those seeking a career in one of the world’s most stable industries. We boast a teaching roster of academic and industry experts, all offering experience with real applications. You may also see collaborative opportunities within the University’s Food and Health programme, where projects exist across other tertiary institutes, companies and government organisations.

Beyond expanding your technical expertise, this programme aims to impart an understanding of the food industry’s economics: improving profit margins, increasing market shares and identifying gaps in the process. Our graduates' ability to make independent judgments and demonstrate high levels of critical analysis mean they can adapt to both research and regulatory agencies.
