Food Science and Nutrition will remain stable programs with lifelong job security.
Food Science deals with the science and technology which is required to produce food fromagricultural commodities. Food Science ensures a safe food supply. Proper storage and processing prevent the transfer, or the production, of toxicants. Biotechnology creates new, innovative, useful foodstuffs by management of biological source materials. Sensory science allows consumer testing and product research. Quality control maintains production standards. Engineering develops new methods of processing, and perhaps even new ways to make familiar foods.Nutrition deals with the effects of foods on the people who consume them. It deals with nutrient contents and the effects on human health and development.Dietetics is the science concerned with the nutritional planning and preparation of foods. The curriculum includes normal and clinical nutrition, biological and social sciences, communication, and management.
Our majors require approximately the same amount of basic science as do the other science majors. The difference is that in Food Science and Nutrition every student gets an exposure to a wide range of scientific disciplines and has a chance to succeed in more areas. Food Science and Nutrition courses then ask students to apply principles learned in general science classes to the science of food processing, production, safety, and nutrition.
Graduates achieve position all over the Bangladesh and internationally. The food industry is worldwide. Careers ranging from Quality control to production to Microbiology to Sensory science to Management, etc., can be pursued throughout the nation.
Yes. Our students have no difficulty in obtaining employment throughout the food industry. Companies such as Nestle, Perfetti van melle, Transcom Beverages, Arla, PRAN RFL, AFBL, SFBL, Sajeeb Group, Partex Group, as well as Govt.
