The MSc in New Food Product and Business Development formed to bridge scientific food formulation with commercial strategy. Rooted in the century-long agricultural tradition of the American Farm School, the curriculum addresses sensory analysis, food safety regulations, consumer demand, and novel processing methods. Key accomplishments include student-led product launches, published research on functional ingredients, and joint projects with commercial European food producers. Graduates advance into research and development, food quality management, regulatory compliance, or independent food enterprise creation.
Applicants need a BSc degree in Food Science, Food Technology, Agriculture, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or related fields. Graduates holding business or management degrees with relevant sector experience are evaluated individually. Perrotis College grants merit-based and need-based institutional scholarships that reduce total tuition costs for qualified applicants.
