The course is structured in four parts. Part A. Food science foundation studies, Part B. Food agribusiness studies, Part C. Advanced food science and agribusiness studies, Part D. Advanced practice.

PART A. Food science foundation studies
In these studies you will develop an understanding of primary science disciplines involved with food production and human nutrition and how they relate specifically to food.

PART B. Food agribusiness studies
These studies will introduce you to the disciplines beyond science or cross-disciplinary aspects of agribusiness including global trade, consumer perspectives, future trends and a practical demonstration of concepts learned in Parts A and B.

PART C. Advanced food science and agribusiness studies
In this part you will develop specialist expertise in topic selections of choice, either science, non-science or both, to reflect the aspect of expertise in the food industry or research to which you see your career advancing. You will become competent in the topic areas per se and the interdependencies and interactions of respective topics in decision-making.

PART D. Advanced practice
In this part you will undertake experimental research or professional development that will permit advanced practice of knowledge and experience in your preferred area of specialisation. You have two options. The first option is a research project based at Monash University in any of the seven discipline areas covered in Part C. Students wishing to use this master’s course as a pathway to a higher degree by research should take this option. The second option is an internship in a food company or food industry service provider.
