PhD
Doctor of Philosophy - Food Science & Technology
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Doctor of Philosophy in Food Science and Technology is a research doctorate requiring a minimum of three years of full-time supervised research, culminating in an original thesis of normally no more than 100,000 words, submitted within four years of full-time study. Because the program is entirely research-driven, the specific focus depends on the individual candidate's chosen research question within food science, whether in food processing, food safety, product development or nutrition science, with some faculties also prescribing advanced coursework. It suits food science graduates with a genuine research question who are aiming for an academic career or a specialised research role in food industry research and development or regulatory science. Entry requires an Honours-level bachelor's degree or equivalent judged suitable by the relevant faculty's research committee.
