Is it possible to study abroad in Asia?

Study Food Technology in Asia?

• Hi everyone, I had my GCE O level and plan to further my studies in the faculty of food science and technology in future... I had search through the web and found bunch and bunch of informations which are useless, and it really freak me out.. I just want to ask any university recommended in Asia which major in food technology?? with full-equipped food processor, laboratory and with experienced lectures etc. As I am Malaysian and currently in Malaysia, fluent in mandarin, cantonese and english, IF I want to study abroad in Taiwan or Japan, should I take the GCE A level?? If not, what should I do before study the bachelor?? Any advice, thanks in advance. Have a nice day...:-)

• Answer:

  Food technology courses attract a large number of students because of its novelty as an educational course and also because of the growing demand for food technologists in today's world of packaged and fast foods. Food technologists are mainly required in hotels, food industries, rice mills, distilleries and packaging industries. Food processing companies need food technology persons to work for them in different sections like Production, Quality Assurance, R&D (Research and Development) etc. The food technology courses give adequate training and knowledge to candidates regarding the quality analyzes of raw materials, packaging standards and methodology, health and hygiene parameters, processing techniques, storage and food value. They are also educated and trained to develop methodologies for extracting useful byproducts from industrial and domestic waste. The future of the food industries, on a global scale, is in the hand of food technologists.
