The placement occurs between the students' second and third years of undergraduate study. Students can engage in up to 3 placements to make up the total time and are required to source the placement(s) themselves with support from the Careers & Employability Team.

In Year 1 you’ll build a science base,learning the fundamental concepts of human biology, microbiology, anatomy and physiology. You’ll also learn about consumer perceptions of the food supply chain, and develop your practical, study and ICT skills. Year 2 gives you more detail in the topics covered in Year 1, laying the foundations for your third year dissertation. You’ll investigate the role of diet in normal health, explore food quality and new food product development. You’ll also choose from a range of optional modules, and have the opportunity to complete a Work Placement module. Finally in Year 3 you’ll critically evaluate the national and international concepts of risk assessment and their application at all stages of the food systems.
