Beasiswa S2 di Belgium: VLIR-UOS 2010 Scholarship for Master of Food Technology
VLIR-UOS 2010 Scholarship for Master of Food Technology
The main objective of the Interuniversity Programme Master of Science in Food Technology (IUPFOOD) is to provide students with comprehensive training in the field of food technology, food science and food engineering, with special emphasis on the technology of the production of specific foodstuffs for developing countries and on tropical crops postharvest and preservation technology. It is expected that participants returning to their home countries will be able to efficiently appraise and solve problems related to food technology, food science and food engineering.
In the first year of the MSc Programme (60 credits) in depth knowledge in food science, engineering and food engineering is obtained, in order to achieve a common knowledge base between students with different backgrounds. The first year is common to all students. The courses of the first semester are organized at UGent, while the courses of the second semester are taught at K.U.Leuven.
The second year of the MSc Programme (60 credits) provides broader knowledge in food technology in general and an in depth understanding in either `Postharvest and Food Preservation Engineering` or `Food Science and Technology`, depending on the major chosen. The second year of the programme therefore consists of specific courses on each major (18 credits), optional courses (12 credits) and thesis research (30 credits). The major, the optional courses and the thesis topic are chosen after completing the first year.

1. Development Studies;
2. Economic Policy and Analysis;
3. International Relations and Security Studies;
4. Social and Environmental Policy; and
