ASIAN-EUROPEAN Master of Science in Food Science and Technology Thailand
Universities I Colleges I Schools I Private Training I English Schools Asian-European Thailand executive training programme and research for agro-industry is a programme co-funded by the commission of the European Communities to raise the level of networking in education between Europe and Asia. The programme is organised by the consortium and all training sessions are hosted by Kasetsart University in Thailand.The project has been implemented since 2001 and is centralized at SEAMEO-SEARCA in the Philippines with three other partners from France, Malaysia and Thailand. Even with the success of the first run, the project implementers will continuously improve the programme as it offers its' second run from year 2003 to 2005. The executive training program has been accepted internationally and will now involve two news partners from the European region: United Kingdom and Netherlands. This project is organized by the consortium from the best universities and research institutions in Europe and Southeast Asia and guarantees academic excellence. All members from the consortium work collaboratively in terms of developing the course contents, selecting international teaching and conducting student exchange research programmes between Asia and European universities or institutions. With the utmost dedication of the collaborators of the consortium, this project promises an excellent and efficient training and research in food science and technology for the global food industry.
Project Overview To impact the food industry, transforming technology is critical between Europe and the Asian region. The training project delivers three important programs as follows:
All training sessions are hosted at the Faculty of Agro-Industry, Kasetsart University - a prestigious university specializing in the agricultural field in Thailand. The research and project study part may be conducted in any laboratories of the consortium. Master of Science in Food Science & TechnologyThe international Master of Science and Technology is tailored to train high skilled resources for the industry especially for research and development. The program contains all course work for principals and practical food technology as well as industrial related subjects. To achieve a Master's Degree the student has to
complete 9 consecutive modules of coursework for 9 months in Kasetsart
University and another 10 months for the thesis with an appointed
supervisor from the consortium either in Southeast Asia or Europe. A
student meeting all requirements will receive a Master's Degree in Food
Science and Technology specialised in Agro-Industry Studies, granted by
the National Food Science Engineering Institute (ENSIA).
The completion of coursework is
designed for full-time students for the period of 9 consecutive months.
The coursework is comprised of 9 modules as follows: Physico-chemical properties
of food. Advanced food processing. Applied food processing. Food microbiology and
safety. Food fermentation. Marketing and product
development. Industrial feasibility
study. Research methodology and
experimental design. Vocational
Intensive Training This program is intentionally for the staff development
of professionals working in large food-manufacturing companies. With the
teaching teams from both European and Asian regions, innovative food
technology topics and important issues for food industry directly related
to the demand of global food business, will be discussed and effectively
transferred through the intensive short training course. Some examples of training topics are: Hygiene and quality
management in food industry. Fermentation techniques in
food industries. Membrane technology. Food business creation. Applied research method for
food industry. Food market and trend
analysis. Research or Project Consulting for food industryWith the academic collaboration from the consortium, the program offers a good opportunity for food industry to consult for research or projects that may be pursued without concern for limitations of research facilities and experts. Research and projects will be conducted through student thesis under the supervision of an academic member from the consortium. The analysis part of research may be conducted in any
of the laboratories of the consortium, either in Europe or the Asian
region. The research results will only be disseminated to the private
company and depends on the contract agreed by the sponsoring company, the
student and the supervisor.
