Introduction to Food Science
Be it how many fruit and vegetables to eat per day, genetically modified crops or sugar content in the latest child marketed drink, Food Science is never far from the headlines or our thoughts.

Students will study a range of modules including food composition, food safety, microbiology, product development, sustainability and physiology.
