Course Description:

Nepal has already entered into the globalised open market economic system by taking membership of WTO. This is both the opportunity and challenge the agricultural country is now facing. It has new challenges to face and if it has to gain benefit from this opportunity it needs to strengthen the sectors like meat, dairy, horticulture or medicinal plants. Highly qualified and competent human resources in these areas are the need of the present and future Nepal.

Keeping this need in mind, in affiliation with Purbanchal University , HICAST has been conducting Post-graduate Programs: M. Sc. in Meat Technology

The main objectives of the courses are:

To provide the students in-depth theory & practical knowledge of Microbiology, Statistics, Bio-chemistry, Food Chemistry, Dairy/Meat Processing Engineering, Environmental Engineering, product development, marketing..
To provide the students with actual field experience by visiting the industries as well as providing 3-month in-plant training.
To provide knowledge in Research methodology, R&D project planning, Quality assessment and industry/enterprise management.
