Graduates from the School of Food Science and Technology of South China Agricultural University have relatively good employment, mainly working in companies. The treatment is better.

Basic information:

The School of Food Science and Technology of South China Agricultural University is based on the agricultural product storage and processing major founded by Mr. Li Peiwen, a famous fruit and vegetable storage and processing expert and first-level professor in China, and integrates the entire school Regarding the disciplines of food chemistry, microbiology, and agricultural product processing, the Department of Food Science was established in 1994 and restructured into the School of Food in 2001.

The School of Food consists of four departments and a central laboratory: food science, food engineering, bioengineering, and packaging engineering. Safety Basic Laboratory, South China Agricultural University Tropical and Subtropical Food Research Center, South China Agricultural University Food Quality and Safety Research Institute and South China Agricultural University Dairy Factory are affiliated with the School of Food. There are currently 76 faculty members, including 16 professors, 18 associate professors, and 4 senior laboratory technicians. Teachers with a master's degree or above account for 92.3% of the faculty, and 72.3% have a doctorate.

The college engages in multi-level teaching for doctoral and master’s students, international students and undergraduates. It has three second-level doctoral programs in agricultural product processing and storage engineering, food science, and microbiology; the first-level discipline of food science and engineering Master's degree program, food engineering master's degree, food processing and safety agricultural promotion master's degree program; there are four undergraduate majors: food science and engineering, food quality and safety, bioengineering, and packaging engineering.
