About the Program
Food Technology is an interdisciplinary study programme with a strong practical orientation. Food technologists are involved in all stages of the food production process, from the primary production of raw materials and plant engineering to the production of safe food on an industrial scale and quality assurance. In addition to the use of state-of-the-art techniques, food processing is a consideration of technological, scientific, and economic aspects. The study programme at Fulda University of Applied Sciences covers different aspects of food production – from plant and animal sources to beverage technology and pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. The study programme is international in design: the courses are conducted in English as well as in German, i.e. English language proficiency at B2 level or German skills at C1 level are required. In addition, various foreign language courses can be attended. Students will acquire technical and technological knowledge to analyse and control production processes in large industrial production plants. They will develop a scientific understanding and use this to apply physical, chemical, and biological processes in the processing of raw materials and food. Theoretical knowledge will be consolidated through various laboratory exercises, thus preparing students for professional requirements. Graduates of the programme usually immediately start their careers in the food industry.
