The basis of approving candidates to the first term of studies is the contest of possession of the secondary school graduation certificate.
The admission to study terms following after the first term is conditional upon the obtaining the minimal number of ECTS points determined by the Dean of the Faculty.

The objective of the study program at the Food Technology and Human Nutrition specialisation (Bachelor of Science degree - weekend cycle of education) of the Biotechnology and Food Science Faculty of the Lodz Technical University is practical and theoretical preparation of a graduate to work in various branches of food industry at the engineering position. The graduate of the above mentioned specialisation is also prepared to work in companies and institutions dealing in food handling, its control and human nutrition. 
The graduate is an interdisciplinary educated person whose skills combine the knowledge of basic subjects (maths, physics, chemistry) with the knowledge of technical, nutrition and economic sciences. The graduate is qualified in the field of production, preservation, storing as well as the analysis and quality evaluation of raw materials needed for preparation of food as well as food products as such. The obtained knowledge is also to serve the purpose of designing new technologies. Those technologies are to be environment-friendly thanks to the knowledge in the field of environment protection gathered during the studies. The knowledge in the fields of food analysis, biochemistry, microbiology and information technology makes it possible to perform analytical tasks. The graduate also possesses knowledge about the health safety of food.
The graduate of the specialisation of Food Technology and Human Nutrition is also prepared to implement quality assurance systems, work safety systems as well as to co-manage manufacturing facilities, including economic calculation. In doing so, the graduate may use the language skills as well as information technology qualifications obtained over the study period.
Thanks to knowledge in the field of chemistry subjects the graduate is also qualified  for work in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. 

The graduates of Bachelor of Science Degree studies of the specialisation of Food Technology and Human Nutrition may also continue education at Master of Science 
Degree studies at our Faculty or at other faculties or universities as well as similar university specialities. 

The final examination consists of two parts: the first- presentation of diploma thesis, the second- answering questions devoted to the presented diploma thesis and to the whole study. The final result visible in diploma,  is expressed in words according to the Rules of Study at the Technical University of Lodz and is the sum of three components: 60% of the weighted average of all the grades achieved during the study, 20% of the grade for the diploma thesis, 20% of the grade for the final exam. 

Over the whole study period the student is obliged to pass 21 exams - their list is to be found in the item II.A.5 - the Structure of the Study Program (subjects marked with a letter "e").
The form of the examination is determined by the examiner (the subject leader). The mark obtained from a subject is given according to the SID system principles, adopted by the Lodz Technical University. It takes into consideration partial marks obtained from the classes, labs, the project as well as the final examination mark, in the proportions determined by the subject leader. The mark obtained from the final exam always possesses the largest weight (minimum 60). The final mark may be positive only if the each partial mark is positive.
