MSc programme Food Safety at Wageningen University



Food Safety student barbeque, Summer 2011.

Wageningen University is one of the leading centres in Food Science and Technology in Europe and the world. The Food Safety programme of Wageningen University was the first MSc in Food Safety worldwide.

The programme is unique, with a highly integrated approach to the field of food safety. Most other programmes in this field focus on the technological aspects of food safety or focus on the interaction of food safety and food quality. The Wageningen programme focuses on the technical aspects, as well as on the legal aspects of food safety and integrates these in Food Safety Management.
 
Students will have to choose one of the two specialisations :
* Applied Food Safety
* Food Safety Law


NEW

From September 2012 the programme will offer a specialisation in Food Safety Law. This specialisation is also open for students with a law degree !

The second year is the research year, with a thesis and internship. Students can choose for a mono-disciplinary or a multi-disciplinary research approach.

Use the menu on the left to obtain more detailed information on the programme.

If you have questions on eligibility, fellowships or admission please contact the programme directly. Do not contact the student coach for these questions !

Student coach : Elyn den Hollander


Hi all!

My name is Elyn, I’m 21 years old and I am a Master student in Food Technology. During my Bachelor Food Technology I was very sure I made the right decision in my study programme. However, when I started my Master, choosing got much more difficult since there are many specialisations in the field of food. It would have been very helpful for me if I’d had a coach to support me in making my choice, so hopefully now I can help you with making the right decision!

If you have any questions concerning Food Technology, Food Quality Management or Food Safety, don’t hesitate to send me an email!

You can reach me at studentcoachmftqs@live.com. I’d be happy to answer all your questions about studying Food and about studying in Wageningen !
