The MSc/PG Diploma programme in Food Science, Safety and Health is tailored to take advantage of the excellent career prospects available in the food industry. Producing, processing and marketing innovative consumer-ready foods which meet nutritional guidelines promotes a concomitant need for manufacturers to employ graduates with training in these areas or to provide advanced training to educate their technical or managerial professionals in emerging issues in the food and beverage sciences, nutrition and health. As a student on the programme you can develop the knowledge and practical skills that are associated with key topics of food science through studying core courses in food microbiology, the management of food quality and the rapid detection and identification of bacteria. The programme is closely aligned with the needs of the industry and is accredited by the Institute of Food Science and Technology, UK. MSc programmes last for one year (September to August inclusive) and include a substantial research project. The Diploma covers the same classes as the MSc but lasts for just 9 months (September to May inclusive). Students admitted to the Diploma programme and who perform well in the taught courses may be invited to transfer to the MSc programme.
