The next semester of DTU and University of Copenhagen’s joint master programme in sustainable and safe food production will begin in September. The courses can be taken individually, and you can still sign up.
Going forward, the food sector is to produce food that is sustainable and safe. Therefore, a growing need for skills in both sustainable forms of production and food safety is expected. To meet that demand, DTU and the University of Copenhagen have launched a two-year, research based continuing education programme: Master of Sustainable and Safe Food Production.
The programme is suitable for employees in both the public and private food sectors and can either be taken as a full education or as individual courses. In the fall, for instance, you can take part in the courses ‘Food Safety in Context and Global Food System’ and ‘Risk Assessment of Foodborne Contaminants’.
See more about what it is like to join the programme in a video interview with student Charlotte Ruby:
The programme focuses on work with sustainability and food safety through the entire production chain, and as a student you can use the new knowledge in your own field of work. The programme is very flexible, so it is possible to maintain a regular job. It is all taking place online and in English. Therefore, both Danish and international students can take part.
