Our MSc Food Science course will give you a firm grasp of food science and nutrition and the dramatic implications it can have on human health and disease.

This course is taught by leading experts at the frontline of applied research, ensuring everything you learn on the programme is relevant and valued by employers. In recent years, our researchers have explored the important role of probiotics, resistant starch, sugar replacers and phytonutrients in the foods we consume. They’ve also helped prove the positive effects and importance of high-quality food and good nutrition and the protective role these features can play in reducing the risk of age-related disease outcomes.

We were awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize 2017-18 for Further and Higher Education, in recognition of our teaching and research excellence in the field of food and nutrition.
