Master in Gastronomic Sciences

(In association with ISA) 

Objetivos

The Gastronomic Sciences course aims to respond to the needs resulting from a profound change in the relationship between consumers and food and in the process of small-scale food production that has occurred over the last decade. The evolution of gastronomy in its most varied forms, as well as that of catering, requires an evolution in work processes and at the level of knowledge.

The general objective is to provide in-depth and specialized scientific and technical training in the field of food science. It should also give students an overview of gastronomy that involves cultural and technical aspects of other areas, to allow a more comprehensive approach to the various subjects and/or create a bridge between the world of knowledge and the real world of the various economic and cultural activities in the field of gastronomy.

The curricular structure was designed with a view to making it compatible with the training of students coming from different 1st cycle courses (bachelor’s degree) from various higher education institutions. It is considered that the addressees of this course will be:

1. Graduates in the areas of Chemistry, Biology, Agronomy, Food Engineering, Health, Hotel and Restaurant Management and Tourism. Recent graduates who wish to complement their basic training, as well as graduates or highly qualified professionals who feel the need to deepen and update their technical and scientific knowledge in the areas of Gastronomic Sciences.

2. Graduates in other areas who show a justified interest in the course subjects.
