Bachelor Programme in Food Science and Technology (BP FST)
In the BP FST, we apply the principles of biology, chemistry, and physics in studying the characteristics of agricultural products, post-harvest handling, processing, development, packaging, and distribution of foodstuffs.
The Bachelor Programme in Food Science and Technology at Hasanuddin University (BP FST UNHAS), previously known as the Agricultural Products Technology Program, was established on February 1st, 1983. The name change of the program was based on DIKTI Decision No. 1789/D/T/2009 dated October 5th, 2009. Formerly, BP FST is under the Department of Agricultural Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University. After July 8th, 2025, based on Hasanuddin University Rector Decree No. 09635/UN4.1/KEP/2025, Department of Agricultural Technology became Faculty of Agricultural Technology and BP FST became one of study program in Faculty of Agricultural Technology.
In the future, BP FST UNHAS faces significant challenges in the dynamic and competitive environment of the Industry 4.0 era, particularly in the food industry. To anticipate this, the BP FST at UNHAS maximizes the role of human resources, facilities, and networks in formulating the curriculum and research roadmap.
The Bp FST has the vision: “To be one of the leading centers for education, research, and development in food science and technology in Indonesia, supporting the food agroindustry based on cultural values rooted in a maritime-based continent.”
Meanwhile, the mission of BP FST is:
To produce graduates (bachelor’s degree) who are competent and skilled in the field of food science and technology, have a broad perspective, and possess a strong character while upholding moral and ethical values.
To conduct educational activities, research, and community service for the development of food science and technology to support the food agroindustry.
Currently, the BP FST UNHAS has 20 permanent faculty members assisted by 4 educational staff. Fifteen faculty members hold doctoral degrees, six of whom hold the rank of Professor, and five others hold master’s degrees. Lectures at the BP FST UNHAS are also supported by four laboratories used for practical work and research.
The BP FST UNHAS has received an A accreditation from the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT) and international accreditation from ASIIN.
