Best Uni in Victoria for Food Science

Geoo:
One thing i'd just note, is that there are quite a few nutrition/food science degrees out there, but they aren't food technology, there is a difference, and often these nutrition/food science degrees are more focused on the nutrition side. Many become nutritionists or dietitians.
I haven't seen the Fed Uni, but I just had a look and it seems to be on par with what you want to do, and if it's closet go for that one! Due to it's location, i'd imagine it would have more connections in your local area for work as well.
Good luck!

I definitely don't want to do a degree that's heavy in human nutrition/anatomy. I don't want to be a nutritionist/dietician.
The Fed Uni food science degree looks very good but I don't know if Fed Uni is good at science. They are nowhere on the rankings list. I want to make sure I am going to get a great learning experience. I also looked at Charles Sturt University Bachelor of Food Science and Nutrition, but I am 4 hours away. Also, it seems to have quite a lot of anatomy units, community health, indigenous food, and indigenous health. I don't think I would enjoy it. La Trobe has a Bachelor of Food and Nutrition, and RMIT has a Bachelor of Science (Applied Sciences), both through Open Uni Aus. Not sure whether to go specific food science or general science.

When you say you want to be a lab technician, what type of roles and responsibilities are you thinking? Many food places like dairies generally prefer to hire chemists, as they often have both the underlying chemical understanding and the laboratory skills including analytical techniques.

Like micro testing

I am looking at RMIT BSci (Applied Sciences) a broader science degree. I can take either biosciences or biotechnology stream in year 3. https://www.open.edu.au/degrees/bachelor-of-science-applied-sciences-rmit-university-rmi-sci-deg

If I do just specifically food science, it will probably limit me. Also, feduni & csu food science degrees are offered part time 6 years. Whereas the RMIT BSci (Applied Sciences) is 3 years, 2 subjects per study period (there are 4 study periods per year).
