Food science and nutrition is a multidisciplinary subject that brings together all the sciences of chemistry, biology, physics and nutrition to the study of the nature, sustainability, and the properties and composition of foods. This course also focuses on the role that foods, nutrients and “diet” play in maintaining health and wellbeing and in preventing diseases.
Skilled food scientists and nutritionists play an important role in understanding how raw materials are transformed into finished food products whilst ensuring the food we eat is safe, good quality and meets our nutritional and dietary needs.
Our food science and nutrition degree will give you an in-depth understanding of the scientific aspects of food science and nutrition and the wider implications of diet on our health and wellbeing. This course provides a balanced curriculum, exploring the applications of pure sciences to food such as food composition, food processing and food formulation whilst also covering nutrition through the life cycle and aspects of how food components affect health and disease. In addition, you’ll consider issues surrounding the sustainability of ingredients and manufactured products. We’ll also encourage you to think creatively, designing your own food product as part of an interdisciplinary team-based product development project.
At the interface between food science and nutrition, graduates will be key in the development of new healthy eating trends.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn a combination of core food science and nutrition topics, alongside a range of optional and skills development modules to give you the technical skills, specialist knowledge and professional experience you’ll need to pursue a career in the food and nutrition industry.
