Магистр инженерии по переработке пищевых продуктов

In collaboration with Brescia’s School of Food and Nutritional Sciences, Western Engineering offers a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Food Processing. This one-year graduate program provides students with theoretical and practical skills to meet the demands of the food industry.

The food and beverage industry is the second-largest manufacturing sector in Ontario in terms of the value of shipments and employment and generates $41 billion in annual revenue. Food processing operations require advanced engineering science and an in-depth understanding of food sciences, food safety, and related policies and regulations.
