✅ Is food science a college major? Yes, but it's not offered at all universities. Make sure your university has a food science program.
❌ Do you need a master's degree or PhD in food science to find a job? No, most people only get a bachelor's in food science.
✅ How many years is a food science degree? In my experience, most people get a bachelor's degree in food science, which takes four years.
✅ What types of classes does a food science major take? Food Chemistry, Food Microbiology, Physics & Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Food Analysis, Food Ingredients, Food Processing and Preservation, etc.
✅ Is there a difference between food science and nutrition? Yes, big difference! A food scientist works with the food from harvesting it to getting it to a grocery store whereas a nutritionist is more concerned with how the food impacts the human body.

Great video! I am a recent food science grad and now work as a quality assurance supervisor. I work closely with traceability of our ingredients and finished goods and manage our hold/release program. With the amount of work that brings I can totally see that being its own role in our plant.

[@AbbeytheFoodScientist]

So happy you're here :) Totally, I think a lot of these roles could get smushed into one job depending on the size of the company!

[@camilasolorzano2981]

Ohhh, tell us more about food microbiology.
Great video🎉

[@igorshepelev7035]

Thank you for the video! I'm actively looking for a job now and didn't even think about some of these options.

[@AbbeytheFoodScientist]

You're very welcome! It took me many years and meeting a lot of people to realise how many options there really are :)

[@habibaashraf6151]

What about regulatory affairs?😊

[@AbbeytheFoodScientist]

I think I called it "food safety" in my first video about Food Careers ua-cam.com/video/-3isz_HMZNo/v-deo.html

[@AbbeytheFoodScientist]

Or is what you do quite different from food safety?

[@habibaashraf6151]

@@AbbeytheFoodScientistwe focus more on the documents to ensure that the product which enter the country complies with the standards and regulations of this country.

Can I get master of food science, I have bachelor of nursing

[@AbbeytheFoodScientist]

Hmmm... do you have all the normal science perquisites like chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, biology, and microbiology? If so, then yes!

[@Divineafricanhairbraidinggreer]

How do i get to any of this with just a bachelor in microbiology

[@AbbeytheFoodScientist]

If you're interested, you could pursue a master's degree in food science. I have some friends that did this with a background in microbiology. Otherwise, I recommend applying for jobs at any food company and start learning how to be a food microbiologist specifically. Then once you're in the food industry, you'll start to naturally learn a lot more about food science and have access to other jobs.
