About the programme

The Food Chemistry Master of Science at Universität Hamburg trains future food chemists in subject knowledge, methods and law. Required modules cover food systems, food technology, food microbiology, food chemistry, food law, food analysis, toxicology and crop plant biology. In the elective modules you can specialise, for example in analysis, technology or biochemistry and bioinformatics, and the programme ends with your Master's thesis in the fourth semester.
