Overview

Your area of study will be the production, processing, distribution, and consumption of food products from the perspectives of the natural, health and social sciences. The Integrated Food Studies programme at University of Copenhagen is only offered in English.

Career opportunities

Upon completion of the master’s programme, you will obtain the title Master of Science in Technology (Integrated Food Studies).

How do social structures and actors such as politicians, consumers and industry form our food systems? How can we understand and improve the transition of food systems and the complex problems associated with food production, processing, and consumption in a modern globalised world?

These are the overarching questions addressed by the Master of Science (MSc) in Integrated Food Studies.

During the study programme, you will gain an understanding of the sociological aspects of the role of food in society and learn to work with different methods of studying food systems and consumption. Thus, you become an expert in innovative solutions aimed at food waste, combating climate change, ensuring sustainability, and addressing environmental problems associated with food production and consumption.
