- Description/content
- The complex world of food is of great importance for many areas of society. The ingredients of food, production methods and supply chain management contribute to the health of both humans and the environment. Novel food products seek legislation to make the food system more sustainable and healthy.
The Food System Sciences Master’s degree programme (https://www.food-system-master.uni-bayreuth.de/en/index.html) at the University of Bayreuth offers a comprehensive programme integrating different aspects of the food system, allowing students to bridge between disciplines.
Building on a cross-disciplinary base, the programme offers dedicated specialisations in Analytics in Life Sciences, Nutritional Physiology, Food Law, and Bioeconomy, training highly qualified specialists with sought-after skills to make a significant contribution to ensure a sufficient, high quality food supply for the growing world population.
This degree programme aims to qualify students for research and development in both academic and company-based environments, for executive positions in the food industry and health management as well as for executive and consulting positions at authorities, in the media, and in other areas of administration and business.
