Food technology

Anyone who loves food is clearly at an advantage: During their food technology studies, TH OWL students get the opportunity to create their own foods. The degree program teaches them the skills they need to develop, plan, organize, implement and optimize complex procedures in production – in both industry and trades, as well as for supplier companies.

Food production is becoming more and more transparent for customers – resulting in growing requirements for product safety and quality management. At the TH OWL, students learn how to meet these new challenges successfully.
The food industry is more diverse than almost any other sector. Food technology in Lemgo is primarily focused on engineering and the natural sciences. However, food scientists will also learn about business administration, quality management and process engineering.
