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

8 good reasons for studying Food Chemistry at the University of Würzburg:

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.

#helloUniWürzburg. This is what one of our students says:

"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."
