JOINT DIPLOMA OF TECHNOLOGY/BACHELOR OF TECHNOLOGY-
FOOD TECHNOLOGY
The food and beverage processing sector is the second largest
manufacturing industry in Canada shipping $87.8 billion worth
of goods in 2008 and employing more the 256,000 people. It
is a very competitive industry with manufacturers continually
developing new products and updating their technology. As a
result, there is a great demand for qualified graduates for a wide
range of activities. They include the management of the food
process itself; maintenance of the nutritional quality of food;
assurance of the food quality and purity; and development of new
products.
The Joint Diploma of Technology/Bachelor of Technology in Food
Technology addresses the human resource needs of this vast
industry while meeting the desire for a Bachelor Degree in this
field.
PROGRAM ENTRY
Please refer to the Admissions Section of this Calendar.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
This is a four year program that incorporates all the elements of
a diploma of technology along with the courses to complete the
Bachelor of Technology. It consists of 8 semesters, a technical
session and 2 work terms.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Students completing our four-year food technology program
will earn both a Diploma of Technology in Food Technology
and a Bachelor of Technology Degree.
The integrated diploma-degree provides our students with
the opportunity to complete the Diploma of Food Technology
program, which retains the technical focus important for
job entry in the food technology sector, concurrently with
the requirements for a Bachelor of Technology degree that
emphasizes the theory behind technological applications.
Students will experience a range of teaching methods
including lectures, tutorials, workshops, laboratories,
seminars and study tours.
