The interdepartmental MSc program is the focal point for graduate teaching and research in food safety and quality assurance. The FSQA program is intended to prepare food scientists, food engineers, microbiologists and others with appropriate scientific backgrounds for participation in food safety monitoring and management in the food industry and in government food regulatory roles. Students wishing to undertake graduate studies at the MSc level with an emphasis on food safety and quality assurance will be working on a project with an approved advisor.
Study mode: full-time | Location: Guelph, Ontario, Canada
The program is most suitable for those with an undergraduate food science or microbiology background and for those currently employed in food safety and quality assurance fields in government food regulatory work or in the food industry who desire upgrading of skills and knowledge.

Applicants will be expected to have completed undergraduate courses that prepare them for participation in the core graduate courses and electives of the program.
