About the course

The Master of Food Science and Technology Research Extensive program is designed for graduates who wish to increase their technical and laboratory skills in core areas of food science, and to obtain more extended laboratory immersion than is available in the three semester master's degree. The extended program also provides strong preparation for entry into a PhD program.

　　Through an independent research project, you will increase your technical and research skills working with the university’s researchers and academics or in an industry setting.

　　You’ll gain access to the Food Science Innovation Precinct – a world-class teaching, research, training and development unit – and have the flexibility to tailor your studies to your interests and career goals, with specialised electives such as business, agriculture and biotechnology.

　　You can also undertake a 14-week industry experience in your final year, where you'll apply your theoretical knowledge to a food-related workplace situation, acquire a detailed understanding of industry operations, and gain professional skills to enhance your career opportunities.
