Programme Food Technology
The online master's specialisation is designed for part time study (approx. 20 hrs/week) to combine work and study. A course-programme of 2 years will be followed by a tailor-made internship and master's thesis. During the courses, you will closely collaborate with lecturers, tutors and fellow distance learning students on a virtual learning platform. The course programme includes two short stays of two weeks in Wageningen for essential practicals that relate to the theory. You can organise your internship and master's thesis in your professional context, either part-time or full-time.
Please check the study handbook for the complete course description
Below the courses of the online master’s programme Food Technology are listed. Students enrolled in the programme will complete all courses in order to receive a fully recognised MSc degree.
If you like to strengthen your expertise and knowledge on just one subject, you are welcome to join a separate course. For more information please visit this page.
