In the first year, the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano hosts all lectures, laboratories, and seminars. Starting in the second year, students can choose from five specialized profiles provided by partner universities:
- “Applied Food Engineering” at UNIBZ;
- “Food Quality Control and Management” at UNIUD;
- “Nutrition Science” at UNIPR, and “Food Chemistry” at UCC.
In addition, students have the opportunity to pursue their specialization at ERASMUS partner institutions, including Wageningen University & Research and the Technical University of Munich. The program concludes in the fourth semester with thesis work, under the joint supervision of academic and industrial partners.
Key industrial collaborators in supervising the thesis include Assoimprenditori Alto Adige, Südtiroler Bauernbund, Assolatte, Barilla, Consorzio Gorgonzola, Consorzio Grana Padano, Consorzio San Daniele, Consorzio Parmigiano Reggiano, and Consorzio Speck Alto Adige, among others, facilitating rich collaboration with industry.
The degree is awarded following the successful completion of an original research thesis, highlighting the synergistic collaboration between students, universities, and the food industry.
