MASTER THESIS - FOOD SCIENCE F/T | Federation University

SCFST8001 MASTER THESIS - FOOD SCIENCE F/T

The course introduces the student to the range of biological materials used in the food processing industry. The commodity groups overviewed will include tissue and non-tissue foods. The course will also introduce the principles of maintaining these food materials in a satisfactory manner such that physiological and chemical/biochemical and nutritional changes that are inherently disadvantageous to food quality are minimised. The content will emphasise the value of an integrated approach to commodities and heir treatments. Adequate information on the physiological, physical, chemical, biochemical and nutritional status of food commodity groups will be gained.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $4,769
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $4,769

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
