The Master’s degree in the Management of Food Security and Quality trains professionals to meet the safety and reliability guarantees that companies and citizens demand in the processes of production, preparation, transformation and marketing of food products and services.

Objectives:

  • To provide notions on food safety from the following perspectives: legal (latest regulatory advances), scientific (food analysis methods), sociological (reaction to food crises), and administrative (public food safety controls).
  • To provide strategies and skills to develop food safety research projects for public and private centres.
  • To obtain theoretical and practical knowledge on advances in improving product quality.
  • To learn the organisational foundations of a food company: technical aspects, business and commercial management.

The studies, of an eminently practical and professionalising nature, include:

  • In-person and online sessions.
  • Field trips and visits to companies.
  • Optional extracurricular internships in companies in the field of food quality and safety.
