Phone: 886-2-3366-4135 Fax: 886-2-2362-0849 The Institute was established in 1976 as the first stand-alone graduate institute independent of other undergraduate departments in the College of Bioresources and Agriculture. The growth in food industry generated a great demand for graduates trained in food science and technology at that time. National Taiwan University filed in the application for establishing this institute to the Ministry of Education and received approval based on the suggestion from Dr. Stephen S. Chang, the professor from Food Science Department of Rutgers University (USA) and the consultant to the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the ROC and his colleagues from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Council of Agriculture, and local food-industries. It was the first food science graduate school in this country. This institute started with M.S. program and later Ph.D. program was initiated in 1983. To integrate relevant undergraduate departments in training graduates in food science and technology, this institute inaugurated to Interdepartmental Food Science and Technology Program in 2000 and Health and Nutrition Program in 2011. Starting in 2002, “Health and Nutrition” was added into the grouping for admission application. Currently, we have 7 Professors, 3 Associate Professors, 2 Assistant Professors, 6 Emeritus Professors, 2 Adjunct Professors, 4 Adjunct Associate Professors, 1 Adjunct Assistant Professor, and 1 specialist Professor. The teaching in health food is further being strengthened. Other than the existing specialized areas, many faculty members are also involved in joint research programs. This institute offers Master’s, and Doctor's degrees to Taiwanese and international students. Our goals are to train students being capable of doing the most advanced research, being able to integrate knowledge and develop independent thinking in food science and technology. The M.S. students are required to complete a minimum of 24 course credits in addition to 6 thesis credits. The Ph.D. students holding a master degree are required to complete a minimum 20 course credits plus 12 thesis credits. Ph.D. students without a master’s degree must complete a minimum of 30 course credits plus 12 thesis credits.本所成立於1976年，為臺大生物資源暨農學院中第一個未設大學部之獨立研究所。70年代國內食品工業尚處萌芽階段，對於食品科技人才之需求極為殷切。有鑑於此，當時在美國羅格斯大學食品科學系任教，且擔任我國經濟部食品科技顧問之張駟祥教授等人乃提出建議，由臺大向教育部申請設置「食品科技研究所」，在經濟部、農委會及食品產業界等之支持下，本所因而獲准成立。 本所設置之宗旨為「培育我國食品工業及教育研究機構所需之高級食品科技人才」。當前的任務包括： 教學： 以培養具有保健營養知識之食品科技人才為教育目標。碩士班的教育目標是「培育我國在食品科學與技術領域所需之學術研究與產品開發人才」；博士班的教育目標是「培育我國在食品科學與技術領域所需之學術研究與產品研發之高級人才」。 研究： 注重創新，進行具應用價值之基礎研究或具理論基礎之應用研究。 服務： 對本所國際聲譽有助益之學術活動，以及公益性服務。優先順序為：有益於人群或國家者，有益於整體食品相關產業者，有益於機構單位或個別公司企業者。Academic Institute
