Bachelor in International Food Production

Bachelor in International Food Production at HICL

Food manufacturing is one of the largest, most regulated and least understood industries in the world. The Bachelor in International Food Production is a three-year undergraduate degree for learners who want a proper career inside it — designing products, running production lines, managing quality, and navigating the supply chain that puts food on a billion tables every day.

Where a culinary degree trains chefs, this degree trains food professionals for industry. The questions are different in scale and in kind, and graduates are usually heading for factories and supplier networks rather than restaurants.

What the degree actually covers

The Bachelor in International Food Production blends food science (microbiology, chemistry, nutrition principles) with production engineering, quality management, regulatory compliance, supply chain awareness and product development. By the end, you should be able to walk into a manufacturer's QA office, NPD lab or production floor and contribute to a serious conversation about a product launch or a non-conformance.

Who This Degree Is For

• School leavers with science interest looking for an applied, industry-facing degree.
• Diploma holders in food, hospitality or science topping up to a full Bachelor's.
• Career changers from agriculture, biology or chemistry moving into food industry roles.
• International students targeting FMCG, food manufacturing and global agri-food employers.

Where graduates head

Graduates of the Bachelor in International Food Production typically enter roles such as Food Technologist, NPD Assistant, QA Officer, Production Supervisor, Process Engineer (Food), Supplier Compliance Officer and Technical Manager Trainee. Some progress into postgraduate study or specialist roles such as Regulatory Affairs Officer with further training.
