The modern food industry is highly competitive and quality and safety are two key elements in its success. These two aspects are adequately emphasized in this postgraduate curriculum. In addition, emerging fields such as functional foods and nutraceuticals are given due consideration through course work and research. In order to successfully compete in the global market a food scientist/technologist should be well equipped with the up-to-date theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills in the subject area. The postgraduate (M.Sc. /M.Phil./Ph.D.) Food Science & Technology degree programmes have been developed to be of international standard and are conducted by highly qualified staff in the country having national and international experience in both technical and advisory capacities. Furthermore, adequate laboratory facilities are provided for skills development. The Food Science & Technology postgraduate degree programmes (M.Sc/M.Phil./ Ph.D.) prepare students to become well- rounded Food Scientists/Technologists or successful Entrepreneurs. M.Sc. in Food Science & Technology and M.Sc. in Food & Nutrition Programmes are offered at PGIA Peradeniya and PGIA Colombo branch.
