BSc + MSc in Agro Food and Health
The food industry is the essential link between agricultural production and what ends up on your plate. From family SMEs to large groups, it offers a multitude of opportunities for UniLaSalle graduates and is one of the most important sectors of activity in France.
Attracted by innovation? Research and development is made for you! Engineers opting for a specialization in agri-food are qualified to design the food products of tomorrow. They contribute, through their mastery of food processes, to innovation for the development of products that are beneficial to health and/or the environment.
These new food products are not the result of chance! They are generally created to meet the constantly changing expectations of consumers. The role of the marketing department is precisely to detect these new trends and to encourage the food industries to develop their product catalogues in this direction. Here again, engineers who have chosen to specialize in agri-food have a role to play thanks to their technical skills and their knowledge of the food products market, particularly in terms of health.
These engineers are also vigilant about the quality and safety of food. Their knowledge of microbiology and toxicology, as well as their mastery of health standards, enable them to guarantee the safety of processed foodstuffs and thus prevent risks to consumers.
Finally, their mastery of manufacturing processes and industrial organization systems enables food industry engineers to manage production lines and optimize their operation in the food industry.
