Food Science and Technology

Shaping your future

Food science is the profession that deals with the scientific and technological aspects of foods and related products. Food science is a multidisciplinary field where concepts of chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, engineering and nutrition are utilized to develop and produce foods that are safe, palatable, healthy and economical.

The Department of Food Science and Technology at Kasetsart University is one of the oldest departments which was founded in 1964 as the first program in Thailand. Internationally recognized, the department takes pride in the rigorous scientific curriculum. All of our programs both undergraduate and graduate students are taught by all Ph.D. level faculty members who care about the success of each student. Food science and technology graduates are major driving forces that contribute to the success of Thai food industry.

B.S. (Food Science and Technology)

Undergraduate program include the fundamentals of food chemistry and analysis, microbiology, processing and engineering, with an emphasis on food innovation, safety and quality. Our program is very strong with high job placement of our students upon graduation which offers students valuable experience by providing an innovative curriculum, professional experience and numerous internships and scholarships.
