Focusing on food safety, food science and food technology, the MSc in Sustainable Food is designed with a holistic approach to equip individuals with specialised scientific knowledge and skill sets in food science and food safety to institute systemic change across the major pillars of today’s global food system to achieve food sustainability.
The programme aims to nurture future leaders in the agri-food industry to establish a new generation of sustainable and safe food by developing strategies at the policy level to integrate highly fragmented and intricately complex food systems. Students will be empowered to be critical thinkers and problem solvers to start conversations, build bridges and establish new ethical standards in instituting effective structural changes to our current food system while paving the way for a new generation of sustainable food to fulfil the global nutritional needs sustainably.
The programme is the only master’s degree offered in Singapore focusing on food safety that deep dives into such scientific topics as Food Toxicology, Microbial Food Safety, Nutrition and Microbiome in Health and Disease, Energy Metabolism and Regulation in Advanced Food and Microbiological Analysis and Food Safety, which enables students to move ahead of the safety stands in the ever-evolving food industry.
Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree (completed in at least three years) and its equivalent in Food Science, Food Technology, Food Engineering, Nutrition, Food Safety, Sustainability or its equivalent in Science, Technology, Engineering or a closely related discipline.
