Master's Program in Food Engineering (Non-Thesis)
General Description
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, doctoral and integrated doctoral programs with and without thesis.
Master´s degree without thesis education has been carried out at our University´s Institute of Science, Department of Food Engineering, since 2017. It started accepting its first students in the 2022-2023 Spring Semester. The aim of this program is to train individuals who can examine the possibilities of use in practice by reinforcing their undergraduate knowledge in the basic fields of food production, food safety and reliability, food biotechnology, food microbiology and food chemistry, and thus contribute to the development of our country´s food industry. "Food Engineering Master´s Degree Without Thesis (Evening) Program" is designed by the Food Engineering undergraduate program and the department academic board for those who work in the public and private sectors and do not plan an academic career, but want to have more detailed knowledge on a special subject and have not been able to achieve this in formal education. It provides graduates of eligible undergraduate programs with the opportunity to pursue a master´s degree without thesis.
To obtain a Master´s Degree Without Thesis in Food Engineering; Students who take 30 credits (equivalent to 90 ECTS) courses and successfully complete all of them, obtain a GPA of at least 70 out of 100, and successfully complete the Term Project are awarded a Master´s degree Without Thesis in Food Engineering.
