Food Science and Technology always in demand worldwide

My experience studying at the University of La Laguna (Tenerife-Canary Islands, Spain) was very positive. I started studying a Diploma in Advanced Studies (Pre-Doctorate) in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, after my foreign Degree in Food Engineering was considered comparable in Spain to a Bachelor's Degree in Food Science and Technology (ULL). This area of ​​knowledge has allowed me to gain work experience, worldwide. I am currently in Canada, where this academic degree was also recognized as equivalent to a Bachelor in Science (Food) by the Province of Alberta (IQAS).
