Short Description

Food Science is offered as a vocational subject within the bachelor's programme Technical Education. In addition, a second teaching subject must be studied. Please note the subject combination options.

The degree programme in Food Science, which is subject to restricted admission, covers the scientific, technological, legal, economic, microbiological and hygienic aspects of food production in the commercial and industrial sector. The Bachelor’s degree programme also focuses on human nutrition, food chemistry, nutrition physiology and anatomy.

The aim of the programme is to prepare students for a teaching profession at vocational schools, technical colleges and vocational grammar schools, and for teaching specialist subjects for the following skilled trades: hotel specialist, restaurant specialist, butcher, baker, confectioner, chef, specialist salesperson or chain catering specialist. Graduates who go on to complete the subsequent Master’s “Teacher Training Course for Technical Education” may embark on a teacher training period.
