This integrated masters course advances your skills in food and nutritional science research. You'll study how to write research proposals and how to communicate your research to a wider audience. You'll develop your project management skills and your grasp of analytical techniques. All of these are essential if you decide you'd like a research career. As the population grows, we need to find ways to make better use of our resources to produce nutritious, healthy foods. On this accredited course, you'll combine nutritional science with food science. Our course builds your knowledge in food, nutrition and physiology to explain the connection between diet and health. You will: - Understand the impact of food processing on nutritional value and food quality - Develop the latest nutritional knowledge from academics working on international research - Build skills in sensory evaluation and product development - Use our specialist labs and work on real-life research projects You'll learn how to apply science to create sustainable, nutritious, safe food. Using our specialist food facilities you'll investigate the properties of foods: - Food processing facility - learn about different technologies and engineering - Quality control lab - use equipment to assess product and process quality - Teaching lab - learn about the role of microbiology in food safety and production - Flavour lab - use our world class lab to understand flavour chemistry - Sensory science centre - test consumer preferences and use techniques to understand how we perceive flavour We have strong links with industry, which means that you'll get plenty of exposure to food companies. In the third year, you'll develop a new food product and present this to industry guests. Throughout your degree you can choose from a range of additional options. You can apply to do these when you get here: - Industry placement - you can add a year in industry between years two and three - Study abroad - in Australia, Canada, or the USA

In the first year we’ll introduce you to nutrition and the biochemistry that explains the connection between nutrition and health. You’ll explore the chemical and physical properties of food materials and appreciate how to consider sustainable options. At the end of the year, we visit different food companies, so you can see how this is applied in real-life. In the second year, you'll examine how the body regulates responses to food, appetite and energy expenditure. You'll get a detailed understanding of process engineering. You will follow the whole process from the ingredients used to the final packaged food. You'll develop skills in sensory evaluation. Using techniques, you'll understand how to test consumer acceptance of new products. You'll study technical, scientific and engineering concepts in food spoilage, food preservation and food quality. In the third year you will carry out a unique research project supervised one-on-one by our academic team. You'll deepen your knowledge of public health nutrition. You'll study food flavour, looking at aroma, taste and texture perception. Using this knowledge, you'll work as a team to develop a new product to present to your peers and industry. The additional fourth year enables you to graduate with an integrated masters level qualification. You'll carry out an independent piece of research, and have modules to support this. You'll develop further skills in the coordination and communication of research projects.
