About the course

The quality and safety of our food are vitally important in ensuring we have edible, nourishing and varied options at all price points. With changes to UK food and drink processing laws in the wake of Brexit, the industry must continue to maintain the highest standards.

　　This brand-new Food Quality and Safety with Industrial Practise MSc will provide you with:

　　The knowledge and technical skills to assess food quality and safety in an industrial setting

　　The analytical skills to address issues encountered by consumers and producers concerned with food safety and quality

　　A key component to food safety is environmental sustainability, the importance of which is increasing on an exponential level. This Master’s maintains this thread throughout your studies – making it the only programme of its type to do this.

　　The programme will provide an understanding of the practical application of environmental management, and its role in the strategic development and operation of organisations and activities.

　　You will be able to evaluate the environmental performance of an organisation or activity and recommend appropriate measures to minimise pollution and food waste, and design appropriate control systems. Upon graduation, you will understand the policy, legal & ethical issues, and technical factors which influence environmental management to operate and plan sustainable projects.

　　You will be taught by a team of academics with a wealth of experience in the food sector, have contact with leading figures in industry, and take part in either a research project or industry placement. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
