Food Science Diploma

Food doesn’t just fuel us—it tells stories, triggers memories, and occasionally causes full-blown family debates over packaging labels. The Food Science Diploma goes beyond the label and into the lab, explaining how chemistry, microbiology, and engineering shape the safety and quality of what we eat.
