It is important to choose an interesting course of study when deciding on further education. There is often a lot of competition for jobs after higher education and not everyone who gets a job immediately after school.
Students who graduate from a master's degree in food science seem to be very successful in getting a job immediately after graduation.
The first graduating class in the master's program consisted of 11 students. Shortly after graduating, nine of them were given future jobs, or over 80%. The jobs of the food scientists were, for example, at Icelandic Group, Lýsi, Fresh Meat Products, Matvælastofnun, Ísteka etc. companies or institutions.
Of course, it is not possible to get a guarantee of getting a suitable job after graduation, but it looks good when it comes to a master's degree in food science.
