Food Science is the study of scientific and technological principles applied to the processing, preservation, packaging, distribution, handling, storage and evaluation of food products. It is an applied science, drawing heavily upon the principles of chemistry, engineering and microbiology.
Study mode: full-time | Location: Guelph, Ontario, Canada
The objective of this program is to develop highly competent scientists who will provide leadership in academic institutions, or as managers in Food Science research and development institutes in industry or government. Creativity and the ability to perform independent research is fostered by requiring PhD students to submit a written research proposal and defend it orally.
The usual requirement for admission into the PhD program is a research-based MSc degree with a minimum 'B' average and supportive letters of reference. Students whose first language is not English require a TOEFL score of at least 89 (internet-based) or IELTS score of at least 6.5. Each applicant must obtain the support of a faculty member willing to serve as their advisor before applying to the program. It is also possible for a student to transfer from the MSc program without completing a master's thesis if the student has an excellent academic record and shows a strong aptitude for research which can be expanded to the doctoral level. Students may be admitted into the Fall, Winter or Summer semesters.
