Bachelor of Applied Science (Food Science and Technology)/Bachelor of Management
Assessment (Internat.)
Assignments, group work and exams
Outline
The Bachelor of Applied Science (Food Science and Technology) and Bachelor of Management double degree is a 4.5 year full-time course offered by the School of Science and Engineering and the School of Business. To qualify for the double degree award, students are required to complete the core units of each component degree thus satisfying the aims and objectives of both while elective studies complete the balance of units. Combined degrees offer the students a chance to pursue two areas of interest, and to complete the two degrees in less time than they would take if done individually.
The combined degree requires you to undertake a minimum of 16 units from each of the Food Science and Management degrees. The Food Science component of the combined degree covers the principles and applications of food preservation, production development, quality management, food chemistry, chemical and microbiological analysis of food and fermentation technology. For the Bachelor of Management component, you have the opportunity to choose a major in Human Resource Management, Marketing or Tourism.
Career Opportunities
Graduates with double degrees are valued by employers as they are able to see problems from two different professional viewpoints and give a rounded response. Combinations of double degrees that combine a technical aspect with a humanities aspect give the graduate a strong claim for a variety of professional positions. A key role in the food industry is that of the food scientist who develops and manages systems for efficient, safe and high quality food processing. Those students who combined their food science and technology skills with training in management and marketing will be the graduate that the food industry will be looking for to lead it into the new opportunities that will emerge in the future.
