Overview
You will learn about subjects such as food chemistry, food processing, surface and colloid chemistry, microbiology, nutrition and food analysis.
The Food Technology and Nutrition programme from Lund University is closely aligned to market needs and there is a strong emphasis on engineering sciences. During your studies you will meet not only world-leading researchers within the department, but also guest lecturers from various food companies working with, for example, product development and marketing. Our links to local industry are strong, and our focus on innovation is high; many of our researchers have converted research results into successful entrepreneurial enterprises, such as Oatly, Optifreeze, Probi and Solve.
Career prospects
Your future job could be anywhere in the world; in a small or large multinational company, a research institute, a university or a government authority. About half of our graduates have found jobs at companies like Arla Foods, Tetra Pak, Optifreeze, Albina Snacks, Glucanova and AAK. Roughly 25% have continued to studies at doctoral level and the rest have found a job in the public sector or at a research institute.
