Simon started the online master’s programme Food Technology (OMFT) in 2020. He received his BSc degree in Food Science from the University of Guelph. Inspired by his professors, he continued studying and enrolled in the online programme of Wageningen University & Research (WUR). Simon was born and raised in Canada by his French parents, giving him dual citizenship.
So far, my experiences with the OMFT programme have been very good. Even better than I expected for an online master’s."
