Why in Parma?
The excellent ratio of lecturers to students, the dynamic research activity supporting the teaching, the numerous national and international collaborations; these are all elements that testify to the high quality of the Food Science and Technology degree course.
A course consisting not only of classes and exams, but also of workshops, seminars and meetings with graduates and companies in the sector, to bring you closer to the workplace. It could not be otherwise in the area called - not by chance - Food Valley, which is the cradle of food 'made in Italy', with numerous industries operating in both the traditional and more innovative and avant-garde sectors.
