Our course is the first programme outside of the UK to be accredited by the Institute of Food Science and Technology (IFST), which is the leading professional body for those involved in all aspects of food science and technology. The broad scope of subjects covered in the programme provides you with a unique blend of scientific and technical skills designed to enable you to develop an exciting and rewarding career in food in a variety of areas, ranging from research and development to food processing and production. Her curry takes full advantage of her detailed knowledge of fermentation techniques! It is truly a magnificent dish!The Food Science Text Series provides faculty with the leading teaching tools. The Editorial Board has outlined the most appropriate and complete content for each food science course in a typical food science program and has identified textbooks of the highest quality, written by the leading food science educators. Personally, she really likes passing on what she knows and enjoys. Prior to teaching and writing, Dr. Vaclavik worked in various foodservice operations—including hotel restaurants, Meals-on-Wheels, and more. Acclaimed neuroscientist Rachel Herz takes a look at the sensory, psychological, neuroscientific, and physiological factors that make us choose what we choose when it comes to food. In a style that is both intelligent and conversational, Herz shows the ways that our relationship to food is no simple matter of just deciding—there are so many factors at play, ones we’re not even aware of ourselves. What you’re taught will be informed by recent developments in the area, e.g. application of colloid chemistry in plant-based products. During this year, we introduce problem-solving activities that relate to actual research or industrial situations, alongside learning the concepts and methodologies underpinning food science research. By working on new food product development and quality control, you'll further appreciate the role of a food scientist in the food industry and other related fields. Our food science degree will give you a solid understanding of the importance of food in human society – from challenging current issues in food production to applying scientific concepts to grasp the complex characteristics of food.

A placement year is a great way to help you decide on a career path when you graduate. You’ll develop your skills and gain a real insight into working life in a particular company or sector. It will also help you to stand out in a competitive graduate jobs market and improve your chances of securing the career you want. In previous years, students have worked at many prestigious organisations, including major retailers, manufacturers and research centres such as:Once you graduate, you’ll have the scientific knowledge and relevant practical, interpersonal and intellectual skills to be able to work as a food scientist.
