Food Science within the Biology Programme encompasses academic staff with research interests in food microbiology (Drs Dewar, Mitchell and Priest), proteins as food ingredients (Drs Campbell and Euston), molecular nutrition (Drs Roder and Schweizer) and plant biotechnology (Dr Morris). Together with staff from ICBD, Food Science was graded 4 in the last Research Assessment Exercise; top in Scotland. Food Science provides excellent career opportunities in both the technical and managerial contexts and our recent graduates are employed in a range of positions within the food and health industries as well as in academia.
This modular training programme is tailored to take advantage of the excellent career prospects available in the food and drinks industry. The MSc is ideal for busy graduates, mature students and working professionals who want to develop their career in the food industry to its greatest potential but cannot, or do not want to, give up work, family or other commitments for conventional campus-based study.
Created specifically for distance learners by in-house academic subject specialists and external representatives from the food industry, the course delivers in-depth, up-to-date theoretical knowledge and practical skills in all major aspects of Food Science, Safety and Health.
This course prepares students with a flexible high quality approach to postgraduate learning which offers the potential for enhanced career progression within the food industry.
