We will provide students with knowledge of the principles underlying the sustainable processing of foods with the objective of applying this knowledge to the production of high quality, safe and nutritious foods whilst maximizing sustainability and minimizing environmental impact. We value academic excellence in the scientific discipline of sustainable processing of foods, the development of success skills in critical thinking, communication, interaction (teamwork, leadership, networking, interpersonal skills) and a commitment to the highest standards of professional integrity and ethical values. We provide learning opportunities in a variety of environments (e-classroom and practical, e-learning, self-directed projects), assessing our students using a diverse range of methodologies (essays, multiple choice tests, oral tests, assignments, presentations, practical books, laboratory research). |
