Choosing between Food Science and Biotechnology comes down to your interests, preferred learning environment, and where you see yourself making an impact in the future.

Choose Food Science if you:

• Are interested in chemistry, nutrition, and consumer health.
• Want to improve food quality, safety, or functionality.
• Are interested in developing food product and improving food processing
• Eager to discover what’s really in your food through analysis and sensory testing
• See yourself in roles that focus on food systems and their real-world impact.

Choose Biotechnology if you:

• Enjoy molecular biology, lab work, and scientific research.
• Are curious about how biology can solve problems in health, agriculture, or the environment.
• Want to work in genetic engineering, bioinformatics, or sustainable technologies.
• See yourself contributing to Research & Development, diagnostics, or bio-based innovation.

Both programmes offer the opportunity to apply science in practical, meaningful ways. The key is to consider which type of scientific work excites you most—and what kind of impact you’d like to make in the world. Whichever route you choose, Taylor’s University offers the academic rigour, industry relevance, and global recognition needed to launch a successful career in biosciences.
