Bachelor of Food Studies
The Bachelor of Food Studies is designed for foodies who want to contribute to a more sustainable, ethical and equitable world through food.
Students will have the option of taking either the three-year Bachelor of Food Studies, or the four-year Bachelor of Food Studies (Community Engagement). Both degrees will provide students with a wide range of specialised subjects. The four year degree is intended for students interested in deepening their knowledge and applying their skills in a professional setting during their final year through community-engaged learning and a scholarly community of practice.
Intended career paths:
- educators and food innovators,
- community food planners,
- food policy advisors,
- kitchen garden educators,
- farmers market coordinators and
- specialist food retailers.
Students will explore the relationship between food, agriculture, policy and health, gaining a deep understanding of all aspects of the food system.
Site visits to farms, farmers’ markets, community gardens and food enterprises will bring to life the topics and issues that students explore in the classroom.
Specialised and interdisciplinary food studies subjects are designed to provide you with the ability to identify opportunities to positively influence food systems, communicate complex food issues clearly to a range of audiences and engage critically with food policy and legislation.
Subjects include:
- Introduction to culinary arts
- Sensory education
- Financial concepts
- Economic and global impacts
- Fermenting cultures
- Gastronomic approaches to food studies
- Introduction to marketing
- Food Policy and governance.
