The MSc Food Process and Product Engineering is an interdisciplinary research degree, jointly offered by the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo) and the German Institute of Food Technologies (DIL)
The master’s program Food Process and Product Engineering (FPPE) includes four semesters, and the achieved graduation will be Master of Science (MSc). The program was established in a cooperation between the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo) and the German Institute of Food Technologies (DIL) in Germany to give students a process-oriented understanding from animal to food (“from farm to fork”) along the entire production chain and in all its complexity. The program is taught in English and prepares students for PhD studies or careers in the agri-food industry.
