Food Technology Plus

The programme has a modular structure and a standard duration of studies of eight semesters (240 ECTS credit points). You spend the sixth and seventh semester or the seventh and eighth semester at one of our partner universities abroad.

The programme content is comparable to that of the Bachelor of Food Technology. You spend the first five semesters at Fulda University of Applied Sciences; from the fifth semester, the Food Technology PLUS programme differs from that of Food Technology.

In the fifth semester you must earn 35 ECTS credit points; certain modules in this semester, including

- Intercultural Skills (LT513) and 

- Foreign Language (LT514), 

are compulsory to prepare you specifically for your year abroad.

A Learning Agreement is issued before you begin your year abroad. 

There are three possible ways of studying for the Bachelor of Food Technology PLUS, depending on the partner university.

• Sixth semester at Fulda University of Applied Sciences (30 ECTS credit points)
• Seventh and eighth semester at the partner university (55 ECTS credit points in total)
• Seventh semester: study semester (25 ECTS credit points)
• Eighth semester: practical period and final module (30 ECTS points)

Final qualification: Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

The special form of this study programme is indicated on the final degree certificate.

The professional fields in which our graduates work are comparable to those of our Food Technology graduates.

With the additional knowledge, language and intercultural skills gained abroad, and their contribution to individual personal development in terms of working in a team and crisis management, graduates are well-equipped to work in organisations as part of an international team. This can prove to be a major competitive advantage on the labour market.
