A lot of courses in the 'Food Education' are tailored differently from different institutions, in your case, UPM tailored 'Food Studies' to meet all the demands of the food industry. This way it will make your choice of career paths more broaden, meaning you can choose from working in the Food Technology industry (e.g in food labs, etc.)  OR to choose to work in kitchens in restaurants, resort and hotels OR to choose to work in the managements of hotels & restaurants, etc.

This was decided my the Malaysian Education Department not long ago because they realize since Malaysia is demanding highly on Tourism, vacant occupations in this industry has tripled since 1998. Basically in M'sia, we need more Chefs, Food&Retaurant Managers, Hospitality Experts, etc...
