Overview

The Food Science Major (BSc Science) programme from Curtin University is designed to provide a pathway to a career in the industry or to further qualifications in the expanding fields of food science and food securities.

Key facts

Food scientists develop and improve ways to process raw ingredients – including grains, fruit, vegetables, meats, and milk – into safe, nutritious and tasty foods.

Careers in food science are interesting and diverse: one day you could be developing a new food product, and the next you could be solving technical issues on a processing line.

As a multidisciplinary science, food science involves the study of biology, chemistry, nutrition, microbiology and engineering. It also includes the latest research in the handling, processing and packaging of foods, from the farm to the consumer’s plate.
