Studying Food Chemistry at the University of Würzburg
Food is with us every day - but what is really in it? The Food Chemistry degree programme offers a sound scientific education with a focus on the composition, quality and safety of food. Students learn to understand and apply chemical, microbiological and legal aspects of food production and control. Whether in the laboratory, in research or in food monitoring - this degree programme opens doors to diverse and responsible professional fields.
This degree programm is taught exclusively in German.
1. Independent instead of remote-controlled: you plan, decide and implement - the lab is your stage
2. You work on high-tech equipment yourself
3. In each practical course you acquire new skills that will make you fit for the food chemistry of tomorrow
4. Study-life balance - flexible organisation of laboratory hours. You need more time for other commitments? Now also possible as a part-time programme!
5. Real samples, real results - examine authentic food samples and learn in a practical and application-orientated way.
6. Personalised support instead of mass processing - small groups, direct support, full power for your success.
7. State-of-the-art technology - modern laboratories, exciting methods: from mass spectrometry to cell culture, you will experience food chemistry at first hand.
8. Theory that connects - in lectures, you will combine knowledge from the life sciences to gain a comprehensive understanding of food chemistry.
"Hello, I'm David. I chose the Master's degree programme in Food Chemistry because I'm excited by the combination of sound theory and practical analysis. I am particularly fascinated by chemically analysing the composition of foods - from vitamins and minerals to other value-determining ingredients - and understanding their contribution to health. Food law is also an exciting and relevant part of the programme. The degree programme therefore combines scientific precision with a direct link to our everyday lives."
Whether it's sunbathing on the banks of the River Main, enjoying the vineyards or partying in the clubs - you'll have plenty to do in your free time.
Students in Würzburg can enjoy the beauty that this city has to offer to the fullest. From the World Heritage Site of the Würzburg Residence, to the new university on the Sanderring, to the beautiful banks of the Main with a view of the fortress - everything is within easy walking distance!
