Hello Aspirant!

Food scientists and technologists don't need a license to practice. At Bachelors level, ideal courses are 3-year or 4-year degree courses inFood Science, Food Technology, Food Science and Technology, or Food Science and Agriculture. To have a career in R&D, QC and QA, you will require a higher degree (Masters or PhD). You can gain more advantage by pursuing a higher degree from abroad. If you are more inclined towards the sales and marketing (product/brand management) roles then an MBA will be very helpful.

Hope this helps you :)
