Do you wonder about chemicals in food? Do you enjoy science and excel at it? Are you curious about the chemistry behind cooking? 

Then Food Science may be for you. Food Science is the interdisciplinary application of science — chemistry, microbiology, physics and engineering — to the study of food. It involves designing new food products, engineering new processes and improving the taste, nutrition and safety of food.

Food Science at Dalhousie begins by building a solid background in basic sciences during the first two years of study. In the final two years, you concentrate on more specialized areas of Food Science.
