BSc (Hons) Food and Nutrition with Foundation Year

You will study very broad subjects in your foundation year, which is designed to prepare you for a range of courses, not just one particular BSc degree. The design of the BSc (Hons) Food and Nutrition with a Foundation Year course has enabled the development of a suite of modules, which are fit for purpose and aligned with appropriate QAA benchmarks.The educational and scientific ethos of the programme is to provide our students, who wish to work in any part of the nutrition support services or the food supply chain, with the knowledge and skills to evaluate and analyse food in respect of nutrition, quality and safety, and to be able to consider how to protect and promote the health of the global population.Staff and guest speakers teaching on the course are experts and publish in their respective fields of food science and technology, nutrition and public health, dietetics, food safety and quality, biomedical and biological sciences and analytical chemistry. We partner with a range of food and nutrition companies and several research institutions nationally and internationally, and there are opportunities to undertake placements in the public, food and nutrition sectors as part of a sandwich year.
