With the global population predicted to exceed nine billion people by 2050, we need to find ways to make better use of the resources we have to grow and produce nutritious, healthy foods. Our course builds your knowledge in food structure and processing, with specialised modules in microbiology, marketing and society available to enable students to be part of the solution to future demands. <br/><br/>What is food science?<br/><br/><br/>- Designing and engineering innovative food<br/><br/><br/>- Enhancing texture, taste and nutrition<br/><br/><br/>- Developing sustainable ingredients and processes<br/><br/><br/>- Making food safe and affordable <br/><br/><br/>Youll learn how to create sustainable, nutritious and safe food. This applied science degree can lead to jobs in research, operations and management.<br/><br/>Youll investigate the sensory, physical and chemical properties of foods. Using our specialist facilities you will apply this knowledge to explore food innovation and develop new products. Youll look at consumer trends, new technology and the latest food research.<br/><br/>We have strong links with industry, which means that youll get plenty of exposure to food companies. In the third year, youll develop a new food product and present this to industry guests. There is also the opportunity to enter Ecotrophelia, a European food innovation student competition.<br/><br/>This course is accredited by the Institute of Food Science and Technology, meaning it meets high quality standards.
