Presentation

As part of the Agrosciences Masters, the Université d'Avignon offers a Food Production Engineering (IPA) course.
Training through research and expertise, whether by researchers or professionals who are world-renowned in their field of expertise, is an original feature of this course. It will teach them the different stages of scientific questioning and the methodology required to answer them in a variety of areas, and should help to develop their capacity for innovation and their open-mindedness.

Objectives

To train managers with a high level of skills, perfectly combining the sciences applied to food and research and development in the food industries.

On completion of this multidisciplinary course, graduates will have the following skills:

A perfect understanding of the various food processing techniques
A perfect command of modern food analysis techniques
Knowledge of biochemistry and physiology in the basic field of nutrition and food microbiology
Skills in Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental Management
Skills in Process Innovation for Processing and Preservation


Students will be introduced to the world of work in the food sector through contacts with food companies and the creation of an innovative food product in partnership with these companies.

International

During the course, students have the opportunity to spend a semester or an internship abroad.

Courses

A compulsory 20-week work placement, spread across and integrated into the university curriculum, is carried out in the industrial sector, completing the study cycle.
