The University of Iceland and Matís have had a good collaboration for a long time and 2016 was no exception. In accordance with Matís' activities, this collaboration focuses on engineering, food and nutrition, biochemistry, biology and related disciplines, and it is especially worth mentioning the collaboration on the master's program in food science.
Food science was under attack towards the end of the last decade and fewer students attended both undergraduate and master's programs and who graduated from the program than usually before. Through a joint effort, the University of Iceland and Matís managed to increase interest in their studies to such an extent, as studies in food science are practical studies that offer a whole host of opportunities after graduation. The connection with food production companies is also strong, especially in the master's program, and a large proportion of students have recently graduated. four years who have been employed immediately after graduation.
