8 Food and Beverage Processing Degree Programs

The M.Sc. in Food Processing will enable students to generate new food products and modify existing products and processes, as well as implement new methods to improve food quality. Students will acquire skills regarding scientific and engineering principles in research and development. Still, they will be qualified to prepare and submit product costs based on acquiring raw materials and manufacturing budgets.

Countless things that we take for granted every day, such as medicines, cosmetics, paint – and, of course, food and drink – are produced by using chemical processes.

The Food Processing Specialist Certificate is designed to give students a strong foundation in the essentials of food processing. The program covers key topics such as food safety, quality control, an...

Learn the skills you need to gain employment in food production or a kitchen with Melbourne Polytechnic's Certificate I in Food Processing.

The food industry relies on a wide range of processes to manufacture the vast amount of food we see today. Food engineering uses the principles of chemistry, microbiology and engineering to design food manufacturing processes. The teaching plan of the Food Engineering Department focuses on providing the student with the skills and concepts related to food engineering and technology, which focuses on developing new food products, designing processes for producing these foods, selecting packaging materials, studying the shelf life and sensory evaluation of the product. Design and control of operations in food factories, methods of producing functional foods, quality control of food products, in addition to managing food factories and methods of marketing food products. In addition to microbiological and chemical tests, students of food engineering will study basic phenomena that are directly related to the production of food products and their properties. The department's teaching plan qualifies its graduates to undertake multiple and varied tasks in the food industries that have turned into an industry that combines high technologies and multiple processes based on biochemistry and technology. The Food Engineering Department is distinguished by the fact that it will qualify its graduate to work in the fields of biotechnology (biotechnology) and food industries engineering. In addition to working in various branches of the food industry and biotechnology, the department's graduates will be qualified to work also in the field of pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, and in the fields of research in research institutions interested in life sciences and environmental engineering. They will also be able to work in institutions concerned with the control of food and biotechnology industries (Standards and Metrology Corporation). They will also be able to work in consulting firms that are concerned with food and environmental development.

This one-year full-time program is designed to prepare graduates for a supervisory career in the food-processing industry.

This curriculum is designed to prepare students for careers in the production, processing, and distribution of livestock, swine, and poultry and their products according to scientific principles essential to efficient and profitable operation.

This innovative one-year master’s program combines a foundation in bioprocessing and biomanufacturing theory, with experiential learning at CBET. Students will develop and run live bioprocessing projects from start to finish, using industry-standard equipment in a simulated cGMP (current good manufacturing practices) environment. Following successful completion of their course work and laboratory requirements, students will complete an internship with one of CBET’s biopharmaceutical industry partners. Offered with a flexible lecture and laboratory schedule, this Master’s is designed for early and mid-career professionals who want to enter the biopharmaceutical industry in a range of capacities, including cell-line development, process development, regulatory compliance, quality assurance/quality control, manufacturing and business development.
