Major Strengths: The BFoodTech(Hons) degree continues to be the premier course of its type in New Zealand, and has produced highly sought after food technology graduates for the NZ food industry for over 50 years. The programme integrates food science, food engineering, nutrition, consumer science and business. Students taking this course can elect to specialize via either the Food Process Engineering major (internationally accredited through Engineering NZ under the Washington Accord) or the Food Product Technology (internationally accredited through Engineering NZ under the Sydney Accord). Both majors are programmes approved by the Institute of Food Technologists).The Food Product Technology major can be completed at the Auckland (Albany) or Palmerston North (Manawatu) campuses. The Food Process Engineering major can be started at the Auckland (Albany) or Palmerston North (Manawatu) campuses but the final one and a half years must be completed in Palmerston North.
