The programme examines processing technologies for agricultural and associated biological based products by exploring the development of systems and technologies that can help the agri-food industry to improve process efficiency, enhance product quality, extend shelf-life of products and find viable utilization for food by-products.
A Bachelor’s degree in the Biosciences, Chemical Engineering, Food Processing Engineering, Food Technology and Biotechnology with a Second-Class Lower Division or better would be admitted to the MTech Food and Bioprocessing Engineering program. Applicants with a pass but do not meet the minimum requirement may be considered for admission based on work experience and selection interview.
All foreign qualifications shall be referred to the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) for determination of equivalence and eligibility for admission to the University.
