This is a great career to get into - food shortages around the world have left the food industry crying out for talented engineers who have a scientific outlook. We're offering one of the first courses of its kind in the UK and we'll teach you how to facilitate, engineer and plan the development of food all the way from farm to plate as the industry looks at meeting increased demand. Three key areas will flow through the course - engineering and technology, food and drink, and business. You'll examine how technology systems are used to construct and build things, the science behind food, engineering principles of the production process, health and safety requirements, how to grow food, and supply and ethics. We'll also build your knowledge of labelling, storage, manufacturing, transportation, packaging, food preservation, and marketing the end product. You could be coming to us straight from A-level, or you might be an apprentice engineer looking to specialise in the food industry. We'll give you the skills to improve the engineering process in food production, focussing on how to make operations and management more efficient, lowering costs and increasing productivity.

Your potential for employment will be huge and global - from a role in the quality process, packaging, farm production and process industry, to a position managing structures for retailers, plant design, canning, food transportation and storage - you will be equipped to make a real impact in this industry.
