Dept. of Nutrition and Food Processing.

  The department emphasis on the fundamental principels of nutrition and food science. The study program covers main aspects of food material production, handling, processing, distribution and final consumption. Also, food processing covers general characteristic of food materials, principels of food preservation, processing factors that influence quality, packaging, food biotechnology, as well as food hygiene, food safety and control. 
  Graduates are able to work in the following fields:

- Hospitals (clinical dietian).

- Governmental and private food analysis and food quality departments.

- Food processing factories.

- Establishment of private food processing units. 

Research activities focus on the different aspects of human nutrition, diet therapy, traditional food, food science and technology and food biotechnology. Furthermore, the department has intensified extra- curricular activities in the form of consultations, seminars and workshops.

Dept. of Biotechnology.

The M. Sc. In biotechnology program is designed to give an excellent theoretical and practical background in biotechnological techniques and applications. The program offers several courses in biotechnology suitable for a wide range of scientific background.
The program places a heavy emphasis on methodology and each student is given the opportunity to learn techniques that are required in modern molecular, cellular and biochemical laboratory settings.
The M. Sc. in biotechnology gives modern biotechnology in:

-Agriculture (crop and food improvement, production of plants  resistant to pests and adverse environmental conditions, and plant  disease diagnostics).
 
-Veterinary industry (vaccine production).

-Pharmaceutical industry (production of monoclonal antibodies for 
disease diagnosis, drug and hormone production).

-Environment (biodegradation, biofermentation, and biodiversity).
