The Doctor of Philosophy in Food Science and Technology is a postgraduate research programme offered at the University of Nairobi through the Department of Food Science, Nutrition and Technology. The programme trains scholars to conduct advanced research on food processing, preservation, safety, quality, and product development, contributing to food security, nutrition, and the food industry in Kenya and globally. Students engage with advanced food chemistry, food microbiology, food processing engineering, food safety, product development, and research methodology. The programme combines coursework with thesis research, requiring candidates to develop a research proposal, conduct independent laboratory and pilot-scale research, and produce a doctoral dissertation that makes an original contribution to food science and technology. Kenya's food industry is growing rapidly with increasing demand for safe, nutritious, and shelf-stable food products for domestic and export markets. The programme addresses national priorities under Vision 2030 and the Food and Nutrition Security Strategy by training researchers who can develop innovative food processing technologies, improve food safety, and contribute to value addition in the agricultural sector. Teaching methods include lectures, laboratory sessions on food analysis and processing, pilot plant research, and supervised thesis work. Students have access to UoN's food science laboratories and pilot processing facilities and collaborate with KEMRI, KEBS, and the food industry. Graduates pursue careers as university lecturers, food science researchers, food technologists, food safety specialists, and quality assurance managers in universities, KEBS, KEMRI, food companies, and international food organisations. This programme is ideal for holders of a Master's degree in food science, food technology, nutrition, or related fields who are committed to advancing knowledge in food science and technology.
