Course Summary

If you want to study food and nutrition at a British university but don’t have the correct qualifications, our four-year BSc Food Science with International Foundation Year programme enables you to undertake an undergraduate food science degree. You will complete a foundation year (called Year 0) before progressing onto our three-year BSc Food Science degree.

The foundation year is designed to equip you with the subject-specific and general study skills needed to cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Our high-quality teaching is geared towards the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.
