2 1 Title, affiliation and language A shared section that applies to all BSc and MSc Programmes at the Faculty of Science is linked to this programme-specific curriculum. 1.1 Title The MSc programme in Food Science and Technology leads to a Master of Science (MSc) in Food Science and Technology with the Danish title: Cand.techn.al. (candidatus/candidata technologiae alimentariae). The MSc programme in Food Science and Technology with a specialisation in Dairy Science and Technology including practical experience equivalent to NFOB14000 Dairy Internship leads to Master of Science (MSc) in Food Science and Technology with a specialisation in Dairy Science and Technology with the Danish title: Cand.tech.al. (candidatus/candidata technologiae alimentariae)mejeriingeniør. The MSc programme in Food Science and Technology with a specialisation in Brewing Science and Technology including practical experience equivalent to NFOB15015U Brewing Internship leads to Master of Science (MSc) in Food Science and Technology with a specialisation in Brewing Science and Technology with the Danish title: Cand.tech.al. (candidatus/candidata technologiae alimentariae)med specialisering i bryggeriteknologi. 1.2 Affiliation The programme is affiliated with the Study Board for Food, Human Nutrition and Sports, and the students can both elect, and be elected, to this study board. 1.3 Corps of external examiners The following corps of external examiners is used for the central parts of the MSc Programme: Corps of External Examiners for Food Science (levnedsmiddelvidenskab). 1.4 Language The language of this MSc Programme is English. 2 Academic profile 2.1 Purpose The main objectives of the programme are: To qualify students to undertake independent professional functions on the basis of their scientific and technical knowledge. To provide an insight into theoretical and experimental scientific methods. To qualify students to participate in scientific development work. 2.2 General programme profile The programme is taught in English in an international environment with foreign students. The programme provides the competence required to undertake independent professional functions within the national and international food industries with respect to quality assurance and control, process control and product development. The programme also provides the competence required to undertake independent functions within public food control, administration and the provision of advice on questions of food policy, and to participate in scientific development work.

3 Food Science and technology is the key subject area of the programme, including food processing, food quality management and product development 2.3 General structure of the programme The MSc Programme is set at 120 or 150 ECTS credits depending on whether or not the MSc programme includes internship. The rules regarding internship are stipulated in The University Programme Order (Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen) Appendix 1, section 6, 5. The MSc Programme in Food Science and Technology consists of the following elements: Specialisation, 120 ECTS credits including the thesis. Specialisation, 150 ECTS credits including the thesis and the internship. The student must choose one of the following specialisations: General profile in Food Science and Technology. Dairy Science and Technology incl. internship. Dairy Science and Technology excl. internship. Brewing Science and Technology incl. internship. Brewing Science and Technology excl. internship. As a consequence of the rules stipulated in The University Programme Order (Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen) Appendix 1, section 6, 5 concerning internship students, who have already passed either the Dairy or Brewing Internship as part of their BSc Programme in Food Science (fødevarer og ernæring), are not allowed to follow the specialisation in Dairy Science and Technology incl. internship or the specialisation in Brewing Science and Technology incl. internship. They can follow one of the following specialisations: General profile in Food Science and Technology. Dairy Science and Technology excl. internship. Brewing Science and Technology excl. internship. And subsequently students, who have passed an internship as part of their Bachelor Programme in Food Science other than Dairy or Brewing Internship, are not allowed to follow any of the specialisations in Dairy Science and Technology or Brewing Science and Technology. This is because they cannot fulfil the competence profiles of these specialisations without either Dairy or Brewing Internship. They must follow the specialisation: General profile in Food Science and Technology. Students, who have not passed an internship as part of their BSc Programme, are not allowed to follow the specialisation in Dairy Science and Technology excl. internship or the specialisation in Brewing Science and Technology excluding internship. They must follow one of the following specialisations: General profile in Food Science and Technology. Dairy Science and Technology incl. internship. Brewing Science and Technology incl. internship. 2.4 Career opportunities The MSc Programme in Food Science and Technology qualifies students for a PhD programme, and depending on the academic specialisation it may also be targeted at business functions and/or areas such as: Page 3 of 27
