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 DIL German Institute for Food Technologies 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 Food Science master degree is taught entirely in English and prepares its students for doctoral studies and a professional career in the agri-food sector.

The MSc FPPE combines practical food engineering with scientific food knowledge
The MSc FPPE combines research-driven learning with practical training in an international environment.
During their studies the students are introduced to current research and scientific work at an early stage and come directly in contact with companies from industry and business. Therefore, the MSc FPPE combines practical work and knowledge in food process engineering with the scientific knowledge about food science.
Graduates of this program are in high demand as specialists and managers, with the ability to apply scientific models and engineering principles to real-world challenges, designing and implementing novel food processes and products. For those interested in academic research, the MSc also serves as a strong foundation for pursuing a PhD.
