Gastronomy concerns 'the science of the stomach' and is about eating and drinking well, also from a professional point of view.
A Master's degree in gastronomy and health gives you the skills needed to develop, prepare and advise on healthy eating. On the course you will deal with food, nutrition and health in both theory and practice.
Specifically, you learn about food safety, hygiene and ingredients and the importance of their quality.
The more scientific aspect of gastronomy is covered by molecular gastronomy: What are food's chemical and physical properties? How do the molecules in the ingredients change when they are prepared? How is taste and texture influenced by the way we prepare food?
You will also learn about gastronomic history, the human senses and the psychology behind consumer behavior, so you can help influence Danes to eat more healthily without compromising on taste.
Teaching varies between lectures and classroom instruction. In addition, there is often project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.

If you choose to complete the master degree programme, you will graduate with the academic title of Master of Science (MSc).
