B.Sc. in Food and Nutritional Sciences

Food safety and prudent diet safeguarding the quality of our lives have become increasingly important. The rapid advancement of nutrition knowledge and the expansion of the health food industry further pose new challenges as well as research opportunities in food and nutritional sciences. To cope with the increasing demand for specialists in these areas, the University started offering the Food and Nutritional Sciences Programme since 1994. Food science and nutritional science are two streams of study, but they are interrelated and inseparable. Students admitted to our programme will gain the basic and applied knowledge in both sciences. Equipping with a strong foundation, our students would be well-prepared for a number of careers in the food and nutrition sectors. Besides, our programme also prepares students to pursue further study on dietetics, health sciences and food research.
