Master of Science in Food and Agro-Processing Technology (M.Sc. FAPT)
Innovate! Lead! Succeed!
Overview of M.Sc. FAPT programme
The Master of Science in Food and Agro-Processing Technology (M.Sc. FAPT) is
a professional programme designed to produce highly skilled technical graduates
who are on the cutting edge of innovation in the food and agro-processing
sectors. With the support of internationally recognized faculty, graduates
will gain a competitive advantage for employment in both the private and
public sectors.
The M.Sc. FAPT is offered both on a full time (16 months) and a
part time (28 months) basis. A post-graduate diploma (full time only) is also offered.
Special emphasis has been placed on the Processed Food Value Chain
in the design of this programme and the integration of the core
courses therein. In addition, the novel inclusion of a course on
"Agro-processing Problem Solving" is intended to provide students
with the relevant tools to tackle problems in processing - from
selection of inputs (by primary producers) to product failure
in the market (detected by consumers).
The Master of Science in Food and Agro-Processing Technology is the latest
taught masters programme offered by the Department of Chemistry.
Please note that applications for 2013 are now closed.
