The 2020 Semester 1 intake is now open for the Master of Food and Packaging Innovation course, with applications closing 30 November.

A joint initiative between the AIP and University of Melbourne, the course will be delivered via a combination of evening and intensive block release classes, and traditional semester-based subjects.

According to Nerida Kelton, executive director AIP, the Master of Food and Packaging Innovation will teach students how to lead the way in food design; learn fundamentals of food processing, safety, and quality; analyse innovative food product and packaging design; and more.

“The Master of Food and Packaging Innovation is an inter-disciplinary degree that explores food processing, entrepreneurship and innovation in product and packaging design at an advanced level.

“You will learn the skills necessary to develop valuable and innovative food products that address key issues such as transportability, durability, tamper proofing and perishability issues, as well as key environmental, economic, social and ethical factors,” she said.

Learning outcomes include:

  • A comprehensive understanding of inter-disciplinary food processing, product, innovation, entrepreneurship and packaging at an advanced level.
  • Cognitive, technical and creative skills necessary to play a key role within food companies and associated organisations.
  • Advanced knowledge and skills in the interdisciplinary field of food, food packaging and design innovation.
