Course programme

The Food Technology programme starts out by looking at the consumer, and then goes on to look at everything else: not just the market trends and the product, but quality management and operational issues as well. In the first and second years, you will acquire a solid theoretical background in Food Technology and complete your first internship.

In the third year of the Bachelor programme, you will be ready to specialise in one of the following professional fields:
  • Food Innovation Management
In this specialisation, you focus on product development and innovation. The first six months consist of theoretical and practical courses and the development of your own product in the lab. In the second half you do an internship in a food company in The Netherlands or abroad.
The first half of your fourth year is dedicated to a minor, which is an elective study programme. It consists of advanced subjects related to a central theme like nutrition and health or food safety, quality and the consumer. The final step will be your graduation assignment, a project in which you apply your knowledge in a company that fits your major study profile. Once you have successfully defended it, you will be ready to become a developer and innovator in the food technology sector.
  • Food Safety and Health
By your third year, you will already know that to be able to manage and analyse the safe production of food, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary. In the first semester of the third year, you will be focusing on food microbiology, chemistry, quality management, risk assessment and risk management In addition, you will work on a Food Safety assignment, which will be both theoretical and practical. Furthermore, it is possible that you will be assigned to solve a real-life crisis-case in the first half of the third year. The second half of the third year consists of an internship at a food company.
The first half of the fourth year is dedicated to a minor, which is an elective course. You can either broaden the scope of your study programme or specialise even further. The last part of the fourth year will be dedicated to the thesis. This is a graduation project in which you apply your theoretical knowledge in practice at a food company that fits the profile of your specialisation.
