- Description/content
- The goal of the Future Food Systems programme is to train engineers with expertise in food and packaging technology, as well as in economic and ecological aspects within these areas.
The well-trained and dedicated graduates primarily find employment in the food industry and further regulated industries like cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. Furthermore, the graduates will find job opportunities in all subsectors of the packaging industry.
The programme imparts knowledge and develops skills for resource-efficient optimisation of the entire system comprising the environment, people, food, packaging, mechanical and energy engineering, and information technology. It focuses on the challenges of the food industry (environmental and resource protection, product quality and safety, alternative protein sources, digital transformation).
The unique selling point of the programme is its consideration of food and its packaging as an integrated system. This is based on an interdisciplinary approach across the entire value chain: raw materials – processing – packaging – trade – consumption – recycling and further processing.
It is possible to choose between three majors within the Future Food Systems programme:
• Food Technology
• Packaging Technology
• Dairy Technology
Knowledge, skills, and methods required for your professional activity are taught in an application-oriented manner. The degree programme is structured in a mixture of lectures, seminars, exercises, case studies, and internships.
Subject group: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), economics
Field of interest: food, packaging, engineering, chemistry, biology, machinery, technology, economics
