Ph.D. in Food Engineering and Technology

The Department of Food Engineering and Technology aims to provide Ph. D. degree in Food Engineering and Technology at the highest international level. This requires dedicated Ph. D. students and supervisors as well as a fine working environment. We offer good career possibilities after the degree has been completed. The Department of Food Engineering and Technology considers the Ph. D. programme to be an important part of the research programme and supports facilitation of an inspiring environment for the Ph. D. students. This program mainly focuses on research concerning primary food production, set-up and management, as well as the validation of food processing and food products, with a particular emphasis on fermented foods. The main features of the PhD are an interdisciplinary scientific approach and the participation of internationally renowned scientists on the Scientific Committee. During the course, the competences required to carry an advanced research project.
