About the Program

Food Chemistry is a degree program focused on the chemical composition of food products and substances within our food. Students investigate changes that occur during manufacturing, storage, or processing food products and are responsible for checking purity, quality, and safety. The program also covers testing drinking water, tobacco, cosmetic products, animal feed, and other consumer products that come into contact with humans or foods. The degree program is closely related to industrial practice, with an equal proportion of theoretical and practical content. The program is divided into two parts: the first part (semesters 1-4) covers fundamental scientific knowledge, while the second part (semesters 5-8) focuses on research in food chemistry. The 9th semester is dedicated to writing a thesis on a current research topic.
