Food Science and Nutrition
In the light of current world and national food issues the importance of Food Science and Nutrition is currently very high in the public's perception. This programme emphasises the scientific understanding of food during studies which will enable you to apply knowledge to a range of contexts such as food processing, quality and safety, technology and the identification of relationships between dietary intake and health.
Year 1
Modules in the first year concentrate largely on the principle areas of food and human sciences, including cell biology, nutrition, physiology, food hygiene and food chemistry. Additional modules provide a thorough grounding in data handling and practical skills.
Year 2
The core curriculum builds upon the general principles laid down in Year 1, with further study in nutrition, human metabolism, food microbiology and food analysis. New modules are introduced to broaden the approach to the discipline and include food marketing strategies and a six week mandatory placement, worth 20 credits, in an area of your choice. Dietetics, food product development, environmental health, food retailing and food quality are popular areas.
Placement Year (optional)
In your third year, you will have the opportunity to apply for a placement in an organisation to try out your new found skills and get valuable work experience. This is an optional choice.
Final Year
Your final year involves further application and integration of food and human nutrition with the study of Sensory analysis and product development, food technology, food quality systems and nutritional studies. You will also undertake a research thesis, worth 30 credits. This is a detailed study of a particular area of interest which requires the application of the scientific and investigative skills developed over your previous two years of study.
