The Food Technology Diploma serves up a detailed breakdown of how food science and safety intersect. Starting with food tech principles and safety hazards, it moves on to risk analysis, food chemistry and nutritional science. You’ll explore how data supports decision-making across the food sector.
With modules in biotechnology, microbiology, and packaging, the course doesn’t just touch on trends—it outlines the science behind what we eat. You’ll look at processing techniques, engineering logic, and how packaging protects quality. For anyone who thinks food’s just about taste, this course politely disagrees—with chemistry to prove it.
