BSc Hons Food Science and Technology

The B. Sc. (Hons) Food Science & Technology was initiated in July 1999 and set out to provide an undergraduate degree programme to produce the technical managers of the food industry of the 21st century. Whilst providing an academically rigorous programme, it had the advantage of not being confined by history and has thus developed to reflect the current demands of the university but also those of the modern food industry. The major themes running through the programme are food safety, new food product development, food processing and Nutrition, all are crucial factors in the modern day food industry. The programme is currently based in the Department of Chemistry but is truly a cross faculty activity calling on input from a range of Departments and Faculties.
