This certificate in alcoholic beverages focuses on introducing the major alcoholic beverage sectors (beer, wine, distilled spirits, cider) primarily from scientific and technological perspectives. The certificate curriculum will explore topics both germane to a specific sector and, uniquely, where there are cross-overs between sectors (e.g. cider and wine-making). Successful completion of the certificate will enable graduates new to the alcohol sector to build a career in the industry. Personnel currently employed in the sector will also be able to complete this certificate as part of their ongoing professional development.
