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 programs with and without thesis, PhD and integrated PhD programs.
This department is subject to the first stage degree system of 240 ECTS credits in the field of Food Engineering in higher education. When the program is successfully completed and program qualifications are met, you will receive a Bachelor´s degree in Food Engineering.
