Overview

Combining molecular biology, food science, medicine, and business, the programme trains students to develop foods that promote health and reduce disease risk and support a sustainable transition of our food systems.

Students of Molecular Nutrition and Food Technology from Aarhus University gain a comprehensive understanding of how food is processed and perceived, from raw materials to consumer choices, and how molecular mechanisms influence nutrition and health. The second year is allocated to thesis work and offers specialisations in molecular nutrition or food science and technology and includes opportunities to collaborate with university research groups or industry partners during thesis work.

With access to cutting-edge research and state-of-the-art facilities, students graduate equipped for careers in R&D, public health, regulatory agencies, or academia.

Career

Graduates pursue careers in R&D, food and health consultancy, regulatory affairs, education and public health. Many continue into PhD programmes in food science, molecular biology, or nutrition.
