How you will learn in this program
You’ll spend a high proportion of time in the laboratory and at the Bundoora-based pilot plant, undertaking production trials and development projects.
The program culminates in capstone experiences which include work integrated learning activities, where you’ll apply your learning in a workplace context.
RMIT’s Food Technology and Nutrition program is a specialised degree. The practical work and hands-on time in the lab has cemented so many concepts. In the final year industry experts come in to teach, assess and evaluate us. I spent a placement in Tasmania doing research at a state-of-the-art facility that manufactures long shelf life foods. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
