| FOREWORD |
This student hand book reflects the programme, staffing, philosophy and objectives, of Food Science and Technology, Federal University Dutsin-ma, Katsina State. The standard in the Department is high, and students are guided to achieve these high goals. The Department is blessed with competent and hard- working Lecturers and Technologists who are ever willing to impact knowledge to students, and who are also engage in resourceful researches that are beneficial to the public. Students are encouraged to make good use of this hand book. The information contain there in especially on course units, regulations, probation and withdrawal from the University are crucial for students who want to make the best use of their time and stay in the University. Our programme is structured to give students the basic scientific knowledge to solve real problems associated with food product development, processing and preservation. It is our expectation that our students should make this handbook their companion and by so doing they would pass through the system and the system would also pass through them. We wish you the best as you pass through the department.
