About

This course can be undertaken as part of a Degree or Higher Apprenticeship. The FdSc Food Science and Technology foundation degree aims to help students develop the skills and knowledge needed to be a leader in technical and quality management or in new product or process development.

Developed in collaboration with employers in the food manufacturing industry, the programme offers students the opportunity to develop expert knowledge in quality assurance, factory processes, product development, and management specific to the food sector.

The course introduces students to the significant recent trends in food safety and quality management in the food sector, both in the UK and internationally. Students have the opportunity to develop an extensive knowledge of food manufacture, while specialising in quality assurance and technical management. This includes areas such as hygiene, preservation and packaging, product development, leadership, and performance monitoring across areas of quality, safety, and legality.

Students typically complete the Foundation course in two and a half years and have the option to enrol on level three of the Bachelor's degree, following a short bridging course, to pursue more in-depth study for an additional two years. Direct enrolment on to the Bachelor's degree is available for students who meet the entry requirements.
