Food Technology (part-time Master's program, distance learning)
Food Technology is an interdisciplinary science and covers the entire food production process. Like the plant and animal raw materials from which they are produced, foods are complex material systems whose properties change during processing and storage. Food Technology therefore deals with the physical, chemical, microbiological, Process Technology and Business Studies aspects of the production of food from raw material to high-quality product. Food Technology provides knowledge of ingredient determination, recipe development, selection of the best possible production process with the associated machines and automated systems as well as packaging. Against this backdrop, the course content and the subsequent career opportunities are very varied and interesting.
You will be able to apply advanced scientific methods and findings across disciplines, recognize problems and develop solutions.
The degree program is particularly suitable if you would like to take on management tasks within the food industry in the future.
The degree enables you to take up a doctorate and gain access to senior civil service careers in public authorities.
The right preparation
Achievements from a first degree program and/or after a change of degree program or university and/or stays abroad that were completed at another university can be credited upon application after enrolment.
The examinations committee of the respective Department is responsible for this in consultation with the relevant Degree Program Advisor/lecturers.
In May or June each year, the Campus Köthen of Anhalt University of Applied Sciences organizes a university information day.
All interested parties are cordially invited to this day to get to know the university, instructors and students as well as our degree programs. Get a personal impression of our facilities and the campus on site and receive individual advice.
The dates of the next University Information Day in Köthen and at our other locations in Dessau and Bernburg can be found here.
Important information on part-time studies
The attendance times in a semester follow the following pattern:
