Compulsory modules

Nutritional Biochemistry and Physiology

Learn how human biochemistry and physiology underpins medical science and how macronutrients, micronutrients and non-nutrients impact on cell, tissue and organ function. You’ll learn the fundamentals of human physiology, its processes, and metabolic pathways relevant to human health and disease, with specific examples of the impact of nutrients within food matrix.

Food and Nutritional Chemistry: A Practical Approach 

Gain a fundamental understanding of major food components. You’ll develop research and transferable skills such as laboratory skills, scientific report writing, oral presentation and group work.

Food Microbiology

Develop fundamental microbiology knowledge with a focus on food microbiology, its key topics and applications. You’ll also develop microbiology laboratory skills as you study aseptic techniques, microbial growth, and the production of fermented foods.

Food System Challenges

Obtain a basic understanding of the food chain and the principles of food production, covering plant and animal derived foods. You’ll understand how issues such as food security, sustainable crop production, food miles, societal and cultural challenges, and different food production methods can affect the quality of food produced and availability to the consumer.

Introduction to Sustainable Food Manufacturing 

Gain an introduction to food manufacturing and the processes that underpin it. You’ll learn about scientific principles that are the foundation of industrial preservation and transformation of food materials and relevant food processing operations and their impact on the quality and safety of food. You’ll also gain hands-on experience in our extensive food processing pilot plant.

General Chemistry A

Develop an understanding of the fundamental chemistry topics and become familiar with the language and terminology used. Designed specifically for students in the life sciences, this module covers the key chemistry A level concepts with a specific emphasis on the chemistry required for food science or biology and their applications.

Compulsory modules

Composition and Properties of Foods

Develop a sound knowledge of the chemical composition and properties of foods and the impact of major food components and permitted food additives on food quality. You’ll also learn about the changes that occur in these components during storage and processing, and develop skills required for chemical analysis of foods.

Food Processing and Quality Assurance

Learn about the industrial manufacture of foods, key operations and processes used by the food industry and the effect of these operations on food product properties. You’ll also find out about the quality management and legislative control systems in place to ensure food safety, quality and consumer health protection, and gain hands-on experience working in our Food Processing Centre.

Microbiology of Food Spoilage, Preservation and Hazards 

Gain an understanding of the sources of microbial contamination of food and the factors that determine which types of microbes grow and cause spoilage in foods during storage. You’ll also examine different preservation methods that prevent or slow down microbial growth, and learn about the nature and importance of foodborne illnesses and microbiological hazards in the food industry. 

Sensory and Consumer Science

Explore and evaluate diverse sensory and consumer methods. You’ll learn how food is perceived and ways to measure these perceptions and consumer response. You’ll also develop practical skills and learn to apply statistical techniques.

Food Manufacturing Principles

Examine the sustainability of food manufacturing and learn about the development of sustainable and cost-effective new products. You’ll learn the principles and methodology governing food and bioproduct manufacture, which will enable you to assess the performance of individual process equipment as well as the overall manufacturing process. 

Securing a Job: Recruitability and Employability
