PolyU’s Master of Science programme in Global Food Safety Management and Risk Analysis is featured in the magazine JUMP.
Dr Ka-Hing Wong, the Programme Leader, said safety management and risk analysis are the two vital elements for food safety, either in the corporate and the government levels.
Dr Wong said in recent years the demand for food safety talents has been increasing, thanks to the tightened requirements. As such, many industry players want to acquire more relevant knowledge to prepare for the career.
PolyU’s Master of Science in Global Food Safety Management and Risk Analysis, launched in 2019, is responding to this demand. The programme is targeted at graduates who would like to pursue a career in food safety, including government officials in Hong Kong and neighbour courtries.
Dr. Kevin Kwok Wing-hin, Assistant Professor of Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology, said PolyU is the first overseas institutions to corporate with the Joint Institute For Food Safety And Applied Nutrition, US (JIFSAN), which will dedicate official to give classes to PolyU students.
Students will receive PolyU’s official Graduate Certificate as well as an official training certificate on risk analysis issued by JIFSAN after completion.
Dr. Amber Chiou Jiachi, Assistant Professor of Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology, said the programme focuses on both theory and practical, which will further equip students with practical knowledge who already obtained a food safety or food science degree.
