Fig. 2: A Sketch of the Nature of the
Course in Food Science and Technology
The exposure of students is reinforced
in the second semester of the 4th year
by 6 months Industrial Attachment in
the Food Industries and allied
establishments to acquire industrial
experience of real work situations. At
the end of the industrial attachment,
every student is expected to submit a
report and present a seminar on his/her
experience. In addition to the course
work, each student in the final year
undertakes a research project work that
enables him/her to put into practice the
theoretical and practical knowledge and
skills for the purpose of carrying out
specific investigation in chosen area of
food science, technology and
engineering and subsequently present a
seminar and submit a project report.
Scope
Food Science and Technology attracts
students with a wide and flexible
outlook, those for whom the pure
science, engineering and other applied
sciences appear restrictive. The
programme lasts for 4 – 5 years
depending on entry qualification. In the
normal 5-year programme, the first two
years are devoted to strengthening the
basic sciences and a good appreciation
of the arts and the humanities; then
follows the introduction to Food Science
and Engineering in the 2nd and 3rd
years, and finally the major courses in
Food Science and Technology.
The exposure of the students is
reinforced during the 2nd Semester of
the 4th year by a 6-month industrial
attachment to food industries, food
research stations, laboratories and
related agencies to acquire industrial
experience of real work situation. At the
end of the industrial attachment, each
student submits a report and presents a
seminar on his/her acquired
experience. In the final year, each
student also carries out a specific
laboratory investigation or research in
any area of food science and
technology, presents a seminar on the
research and submits a project report
based on the research findings.

and Technology can embark on a
teaching career in the University,
Polytechnic or College of Technology,
undertake advanced studies in any of a
number of courses associated with
Food Science, Food Engineering, Food
Technology, or Nutritional Sciences,
Biotechnology, Product Development,
Extension Education, Food Microbiology,
Food Laws and Regulations, Marketing
and Management etc. Graduates are
adequately trained to be employed at
the senior level in food industries,
regulatory agencies, food service,
extension organizations and research
institutes. Most importantly, food
science and technology graduates are
trained to be capable of establishing
their own small and medium scale food
enterprises.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Academic Atmosphere
The academic programme allows each
student to present three (3) seminars.
The first seminar is on the work
experience gained during the six months
SIWES in Food and related industries.
The second is a proposal seminar on
the student’s final year research project
topic. During this seminar the student
explains in detail the research project to
undertake and the experimental
methods to be used. The students are
questioned and constructive corrections
are made on both the project topics and
methodology. The third seminar
involves presentation and discussion of
the results of their research findings.
The student’s performance in these
three seminars is evaluated by all
academic staff.
Practical classes are conducted and the
students are assessed on such
practical works. Industrial visits and
excursions to food and related
industries are embarked on to augment
the laboratory practical demonstrations.
Effective evaluation of students’
performance is done through
continuous assessments and final
examinations which account for 30%
and 70% respectively of the total mark
for each course.
Student’s Welfare:
Each student is assigned to a staff
adviser who advises the student on
academic matters and to whom he/she
I expected to lodge all his/her academic
complain. The staff adviser also helps
the student select and register courses
for the semester/session. The staff
adviser sees to the prompt and
dispassionate settlement of any
grievances the student may have. He
however reports to the Head of
Department (HOD) any problems that he
cannot handle or that requires the
HOD’s attention. Additionally the
students are catered for in their hostels
by the Dean of Student Affairs, through
the Hall Wardens and Hall Officers.
Examinations
The students’ performances are
evaluated based on examination and
continuous assessments. Examinations
are conducted at the end of each
semester. University examination Time-
Table is drawn by the Registry
(Examination section) with the
Departmental Examination Time-Tables
from the various departments, about 1
month before the examination. About
the same time, questions and marketing
schemes are requested for by the Head
of Department from all academic staff
on all courses taught. These are
moderated by the Departmental Board
of Examiners. The question paper is
finally produced by the Head of
Department from the moderated
questions, for courses up to the 400
level. Each lecturer is given a free hand
to decide on the nature of assignment
for continuous assessment which can
be in form of test, term paper, practical
or mini project.
For the final year students, the
moderated questions are sent under
strict confidentiality by the Head of
Department to the External Examiner for
final moderation Thereafter, the Head of
Department keeps the questions until
the moment of the examination. Early
on the examination day, the questions
are produced and sealed in envelopes in
the Head’s office under the strictest
security. The sealed questions are
handed over to the chief invigilator
(normally a senior academic staff) just
before the commencement of the
examination.
Before the examination, the students
are screened to ensure that no prepared
material is taken into the examination
hall by students. The University
regulations governing examinations,
which the students are aware of apply.
After the examination, the answer
scripts are first sent to the Head of
Department who distributes them to the
course lecturers for marking
immediately.
After marking, the marked scripts and
the marked sheets are returned to the
Head of Department while the marks’
sheet is forwarded to the Examinations
section of the Registry. For the final year
students, scripts are kept for the last
moderation by the External Examiner.
The results of the final year students are
classified o the cumulative grade point
average by the Departmental Board and
later by the Faculty Board that
recommends the results to the Senate
for approval.
