Bursa Uludağ University Food Engineering program was established in 1981 within the Faculty of Agriculture. The first name of the department, which started to provide undergraduate education in 1982, was the Department of Agricultural Products Technology, and was later changed to the Department of Food Science and Technology. It was renamed the Department of Food Engineering in 1993 and produced its first graduates with this title in 1996. The main aim of the Food Engineering Undergraduate Program is to train personnel who can produce safe, healthy and nutritious food in the required quantities at competitive prices by making the best use of existing resources. In our department, at the undergraduate level, a 30% English education program is implemented following 1 year of compulsory English preparatory education. Research and academic activities in the department are carried out in two main areas: Food Sciences and Food Technology, and there are master´s degree with and without thesis, doctoral and integrated doctoral programs. The integrated doctoral program was opened in 2017.

When the program is successfully completed and program qualifications are met, a Doctorate degree is obtained in the field of Food Engineering.

Third Cycle

Candidates must have a bachelor´s degree in Food Engineering, have at least 80 points from the ALES exam, and have a bachelor´s graduation grade point average of at least 3.00 on a 4-point scale. Candidates are also required to get at least 55 points from the central foreign language exams accepted by YÖK (YDS, ÜDS, KPDS, TOEFL, etc.).

The provisions in “Regulation on Transfer among Associate and Undergraduate Degree Programs, Double Major, and Subspecialty and the Principals of Credit Transfer among Institutions in Higher Education Institutions” are applied.

To obtain the Food Engineering Integrated PhD program degree; At least 47 credits (equivalent to 300 ECTS) must be taken, successfully completing all of these courses and obtaining a grade point average of at least 75 out of 100. In addition, the students who have achieved a minimum score of 75 in the doctoral qualification exam (oral and written) held by the expert faculty members in the relevant field and who successfully defend their thesis in a related field before a selected jury are awarded a Food Engineering doctorate diploma.

The aim of the Food Engineering Integrated Doctorate Program is to monitor the techniques in the rapidly developing food industry, to interpret and organize this information in accordance with the country´s realities, to produce and disseminate information that will help develop unique techniques. Another duty of Food Engineering departments is; The aim is to train Food Engineers who are needed by the food industry, which develops in parallel with agricultural production in our country. In this context, the aim of Food Engineering Departments is to ensure that students acquire engineering skills that can use modern science and technology in the processing, preservation, distribution and marketing of food. As it is known, in the food industry, all theoretical and practical, basic data and methods from the raw material in the food production chain to the final product that the consumer can consume are within the scope of Food Engineering education.
