1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Food safety has been and continues to be a pressing public health issue worldwide. In Vietnam, concerns related to agricultural product quality control and food safety assurance have received sustained attention from central to local authorities and are regularly discussed in scientific conferences and media outlets. Most recently, Directive No. 17-CT/TW dated 21 October 2022 of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat on strengthening food security and safety in the new context called for the development of high-quality human resources in food science and technology, particularly in inspection, management, quality assurance, and food safety and security. In response, the USTH Master’s programme in Food Quality Assurance and Food Safety (FSQA) has been designed to provide solid academic and professional knowledge, addressing current pressing issues in food safety and security, with a high level of practical training and internships in laboratories, research centres, institutes, and professional settings.

In the context of globalisation and digital transformation, food safety has become a critical factor for all food production and distribution enterprises. In addition to quality control and food hygiene, the programme places particular emphasis on equipping students with competencies in product traceability – a mandatory requirement under current legislation for high-risk goods such as food. The FSQA programme benefits from the direct teaching involvement of experts from the National Institute for Food Control (NIFC) and the National Barcode Centre, two leading institutions in Vietnam in the fields of food safety testing and product traceability, together with ESIAB at Bretagne INP (France), a strategic international partner bringing expertise in sustainable food systems and advanced technologies in food quality assurance, thus ensuring the practical relevance and currency of the programme.

PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS

– The programme follows the Bologna Process framework, using the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), enabling recognition of learning outcomes in over 45 countries across Europe and worldwide, and facilitating transfer to or continuation in other international programmes within the same system.

– Advanced learner-centred teaching methodology with a strong focus on practical and field-based sessions to maximise student potential.

– The programme is taught entirely in English by professors from leading universities and research institutes in Vietnam, France, Italy, and beyond.

– Rich professional experience through two internship placements, both domestic and international, totalling nine months.

– High opportunity to receive full scholarships and living allowances from USTH.

– High opportunity to receive full scholarships for internships in France and other European countries.

– High opportunity to receive doctoral scholarships in France for talented USTH students.

– Wide employment opportunities upon graduation in government agencies, NGOs, research institutes, universities, and Vietnamese and international companies.

2. PROGRAMME

2.1. Programme Objectives

The Master’s programme in Food Quality Assurance and Food Safety (FSQA) is designed to train a generation of food professionals with systems thinking, advanced analytical competencies, and the ability to adapt to international professional environments in the fields of food quality assurance, food safety, and food security.

Graduates are equipped to take on high-level specialist roles within government food safety management systems, food testing and risk assessment organisations, domestic and international food companies and corporations, as well as research and development institutions. The programme also provides a strong foundation for students wishing to pursue doctoral studies and academic careers in Vietnam and abroad.

The FSQA training approach goes beyond traditional technical knowledge to address the global trends reshaping the food industry: the development of sustainable food systems, ensuring food security in the context of climate change, applying digital technologies and Industry 4.0 in supply chain management, and meeting increasingly high demands for transparency and environmental responsibility in food production.

2.2. Programme Structure

The FSQA Master’s programme comprises 25 modules (equivalent to 120 ECTS, over four semesters), taught entirely in English. Over 40% of modules are delivered by international lecturers from France, Italy, Taiwan, Thailand, and partner countries. The programme is built around two main knowledge pillars: Food Quality Assurance and Food Safety Assurance, while integrating interdisciplinary themes reflecting global trends in the food industry.

One of the distinctive strengths of FSQA is its specialised curriculum, designed to directly address real-world labour market needs:

On quality control and management, students receive in-depth training in advanced food quality analysis and testing methods, food quality and safety management systems, Food Safety Audit and Risk Assessment in Food Safety — core competencies in both public sector management and modern corporate environments.

On traceability and supply chain management, the programme dedicates a specialised module to Traceability and Logistics Management in Food Supply Chain, combined with Food Supply Chain Quality Management, equipping students with the competency to operate and oversee the full journey of food products from production to the consumer.

On sustainable development and Industry 4.0, the programme pioneers teaching on carbon footprint and environmental impact mitigation in food production (Food Footprint), targeting net zero in the agri-food supply chain; the application of green technologies and Industry 4.0 in sustainable agri-food systems; and circular economy linked to sustainable food systems. These modules are developed with the academic contribution of ESIAB – Bretagne INP (France), a renowned food science and technology institution in France.

On food security and emerging trends, students are updated on Global Food Safety and Security Challenges, new trends in food research and innovation, and sustainable agriculture – reflecting FSQA’s commitment to training professionals who not only meet current needs but are ready to lead future change.

Two intensive internship placements totalling nine months at research institutes, laboratories, and food companies in Vietnam or abroad complete the training journey, allowing students to build genuine professional experience before graduation.
