The degree provides a strong background in the principles underlying the sciences of food production and food product technology management. The courses will be flexible and demand-driven, considering the employability opportunities both locally and globally. The undergraduates will be mentored and guided into careers contributing to social, environmental, and economic development. The extracurricular activities will bring about the personality, confidence and social responsibility and social etiquette of students and they will be a new genre of students that will bear the hallmarks of quality and relevance of undergraduate education.<\/p>\n
Year 1 and Year 2 of the degree programme are combined as Level 1, and year 3 and year 4 are named as level 2 and level 3, respectively. Level 1 course units offered in Year 1 and 2 provide knowledge in basic science and business, which will form the basis for subsequent study in food production and technology management. To achieve this, students undertake the following subjects. At the end of semester 1 of Year 1, students are attached to an organization for a period of 2 weeks to gain exposure to \u2018real-world experience.\u2019<\/p>\n
