If you are looking for a Second Cycle (MSc) Degree Course at the forefront of the modern food sciences, and you want to acquire the ability to face the challenges posed by the modern food systems and learn deep skills in managing the safety of what we eat, we propose to you to become a Food Safety expert. It’s possible through a regional course, fully taught in English, offered by a network formed by the Universities of the Emilia-Romagna region: University of Parma, University of Bologna, Catholic University of Piacenza, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, University of Ferrara.

Emilia-Romagna region and, in particular, the Parma District represents an integrated ecosystem of food industries, research centers and public institutions fully dedicated to food (for this reason it’s called “food valley”) and is the headquarter of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Foods have a direct impact on human health and well-being. They are the main way in which our body comes into contact with the external environment and with millions of different compounds. It becomes therefore essential for companies, control bodies and research centers to form specific figures dedicated to risk assessment  and management of food risks. These figures are the Food Safety experts. The Food Safety expert has a knowledge of European legislation in the sector and is linked to the global market, which poses logistical challenges and makes the guarantees on ingredients of the food chain less robust, leading to new safety risks.
