Every day we consume food and trust in its quality and safety. In order to ensure the population is adequately supplied with high-quality, safe and long-lasting food, detailed knowledge of technological processes and sound business management skills are necessary.

In addition to the classical engineering focus of food technology, a second focus offers a combination of engineering and business studies.
