| 2016 | School of Applied Science | Diploma in Applied Food Science & Nutrition | T26 | A0A | What�s in your favourite snack of crisps or instant noodles? Why do food manufacturers add chemicals to our packaged food? Can food really help us feel and look good? More and more, the world has become concerned with the nutritional value of our food. We see it in our friends who refuse to eat chicken skin or dessert toppings and fillings laced with cream; we also see it in those who opt for a �low carbo� diet and those who label fast-food and dessert as �sin�.Are the tastiest foods also the �unhealthiest�? What makes the �healthy� so beneficial for us? And why do we all have friends who can eat all they want and apparently never put on weight?This Diploma course explores these issues and more, as students learn to become food science and nutrition professionals. They will discover the science behind food and how its components react with each other and/or impact our health. Students will learn how to develop innovative, healthier and safer foods as well as evaluate meals, and how to manage diseases using diet and food. Applying the scientific knowledge of both food science and nutrition, students will get a headstart in the food, nutrition and healthcare industries! | http://www.tp.edu.sg/schools/asc/applied-food-science-and-nutrition |
| 2016 | School of Applied Science | Diploma in Baking & Culinary Science | T44 | A0J | This course will teach you to scientifically evaluate the sensory and food quality aspects of the dishes you prepare. Right from your first year, comprehensive hands-on training on culinary and baking skills sets your foundation, followed by an intensive yet interactive second year with more advanced techniques and skill-based experiences coupled with the science behind the techniques. The curriculum encompasses chemistry, microbiology, food safety, product development, as well as baking and culinary technology. Part of the uniqueness of this course is that you will undergo a truly Asian culinary experience with a touch of your local heritage too. During the third year, you will apply your acquired scientific knowledge and culinary skills to manage and operate various real-life F&B Learning Enterprises on campus, as well as undergo a student internship to gain and further develop your career-specific skills in the diverse food and beverage (F&B) industry or food/ ingredients companies. | http://www.tp.edu.sg/schools/asc/baking-and-culinary-science |
| 2016 | School of Applied Science | Diploma in Biomedical Science | T27 | A0G | Singapore is poised to be a global hub for biomedical sciences. The local biomedical sciences sector is growing rapidly with increasing foreign direct investment that boosts job opportunities in clinical laboratory testing, clinical trials as well as research and development. Singapore�s thrust to be the region�s medical hub with world-class healthcare services emphasises the need for quality trained technologists in clinical laboratories and clinical research. This course puts you in demand! You begin by learning the foundational sciences to understand the biology and chemistry of health sciences. You will study, among other things, the inner workings of living cells, the biological processes involving proteins and enzymes, the structure, parts and functions of the human body, and the world of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. You will progress to learn the nature, causes and progression of human diseases, our biological responses and defences, and diagnosis so that appropriate treatment can be provided. You will ultimately build your strength in the testing, diagnosis, management and prevention of diseases. Our course emphasises learning through established collaborative training with industry/ hospitals, taught by experienced teaching staff and industry practitioners. The compulsory structured internship in relevant industries carried out concurrently with major projects helps you to experience real working life and allows you to apply theory to practice on actual industry projects. | http://www.tp.edu.sg/schools/asc/biomedical-science-t27 |
