RMIT University

The Bachelor of Science (Food Technology and Nutrition)/Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) will prepare student for leading roles as a food industry professional. In this course student will gain skills related to food science and engineering in key areas of product development and production systems .This course provides opportunity to student to learn how to design the plant, the process and the product. This program is ideal if student is interested in: developing new products taking account of consumer preferences and health and safety, designing cost-effective and reliable processes including packaging and transportation, improving the efficiency of the food processing industry.
Higher Mathematics and Chemistry or VCE Mathematical Methods (CAS) and Chemistry.
The major studies include development of skills related to food science and engineering in key areas of product development and production systems.
Student must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 or an equivalent senior secondary school qualification with a minimum average of 70%.For information on international qualifications and corresponding entry requirements that are equivalent to an Australian Year 12, see the Entry requirements by country web page. Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognised post secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.
After completing graduation, Graduates are eligible for membership of the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST).The Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) program is accredited by Engineers Australia and graduates are eligible to apply for graduate membership. London-based Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) is the primary international professional society for the chemical engineers. All RMIT chemical engineering programs satisfy the UK requirement for MEng-level accreditation.
Industry sees RMITs multidiscipline graduates as highly employable with a better understanding of team challenges and requirements. As Victorias largest manufacturing industry, food processing offers excellent employment opportunities. Student will probably work with companies like Nestlé, Cadbury, Simplot or Kraft in production, research and development, marketing or quality assurance or management. Many local smaller food manufacturing companies need graduates, as does the pet food industry, a major employer in Australia. Therere also opportunities in a range of other chemical engineering areas like oil production, cosmetics and plastics and the water industry.
5 years full-time ,International student visa holders can only study full-time.
