Overview

The Master of Global Food and Nutrition Science is designed to extend and enhance student’s knowledge and skills in food and nutrition science in areas such as global food security, safety, and sustainability. The program explores equity and social justice in global food systems, considering legislative, regulatory and food policy at local, national, and international levels. Students learn innovative and emerging processing and preservation techniques; understand value-adding and reformulation techniques, apply sensory and flavour science to new product development, explore nutrigenomics and metabolic nutrition, including nutritional challenges across the life stages. Current food trends and opportunities for industry are covered, including developing alternative protein sources, use of by-products, first foods, and advances in sustainable packaging. Students can tailor their studies to their interest and career goals through specialised electives and by completing a 12-unit capstone project which may involve industry.

The Master of Global Food and Nutrition Science is an AQF Level 9 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 2 years.
