The UNSW Bachelor of Science (Honours) Food Science program is designed to equip you for a career as a professional food scientist. We provide you with a solid background in mathematics, natural and applied sciences that will prepare you for acquiring knowledge and skills in a food science specialisation. You will get the chance to apply yourself to food product design and enquiry projects, professional food practice, food systems management and conduct research towards your thesis project. The four year Food Science program is offered in 2 disciplines: Food Science and Technology This stream extends over four years and students study full-time during the day for twenty-four weeks of each year (excluding examination and recess periods). An academic member of staff in the School of Chemical Engineering, as designated by the Head of School, may approve various program patterns involving full-time or part-time study. Food Science and Nutrition The UNSW Bachelor of Science (Honours) in food science is a four year professional degree program designed to equip you for a career as a food scientist. We provide you with a solid background in mathematics, natural and applied sciences that will prepare you for learning knowledge and skills in a food science specialisation. You will get the chance to apply yourself to food product design and enquiry projects, professional food practice, food systems management, product design, and research. The specialisation in Food Science and Nutrition emphasises physiology and nutrition. The stream structure below gives one sequence of courses that fulfils the requirements of the major. However, many courses are offered only once per year and others have pre-requisites or exclusions which govern the order in which they can be taken. Both of these things can have a big impact on enrolment planning if poor choices of course combinations are made. Students are strongly encouraged to consult the School website for advice on course sequences that are consistent with timetabling and availability. The timing of the general education courses and elective courses may be modified to optimise the student's choice of courses. It is the students responsibility to plan their enrolments appropriately. Both of these options result in the award of a Bachelor of Science (Hons). Program Structure Students must complete 192 UOC as a standalone program. 168 UOC specialisation + 12 UOC General Education + 12 UOC electives (Foundational Disciplinary or Disciplinary Knowledge Courses)*
