For you?

Companies worldwide are more aware of their social responsibility and are carefully evaluating their production process. There is so much to be done: developing a more efficient and sustainable production process, creating smarter food, and innovating with biobased consumer products.

Are you a critical thinker? Do you want to help companies find solutions for today's challenges? Then the 4-year Process & Food Technology (PFT) degree programme could be right for you. Process & Food Technology is a multicultural programme focusing on either production and technology processes in both the chemical and food industries.

Within the programme, you will work on projects organised in collaboration with the industry, offering real challenges that help you gain practical skills and experience. You will spend a lot of time in our well-equipped labs and kitchen, and all the projects in the curriculum have been designed from an international context. Roles in the professional field are incredibly diverse, ranging from manufacturing and quality control, to engineering, product development, and process optimisation.

Your passion for technology and applied science will come in handy in this English-language degree programme. It’s not that big, so everybody knows everybody. And after graduation, you will be ready to work anywhere in the world. Where will you make the most impact?
