The Master’s degree “Master of Science in Food Quality and Safety” offered at the University of Bayreuth, enables the students to understand and solve problems in the field of food quality and safety from an integrative, cross-disciplinary perspective. Thus, the course is interdisciplinary in design, combining a life science focus (biology of crops and farm animals, food microbiology, human nutrition, analytical methods, food biochemistry), with an approximately equal share of legal and economic studies. The studying modules of the master’s curriculum are: Biology and Biochemistry of Food, Human Biology, Food Chemistry, Data Science/Bioinformatics/Statistics, Food Law, Food Trade Law, Safety and Risk Management Law, Quality Management, Food Supply Chain Management, and Science Communication. The entry requirements include a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in natural sciences or life sciences with a final German grade of "2.5" or higher, as well as English language skills (at least C1 level, based on the Common European Framework of Reference of Languages) and proven German language skills (A1).
