BSc Food Science and Nutrition
With the global population predicted to hit nine billion people by 2050, we need to find ways to make better use of the resources we have to grow and produce nutritious, healthy foods.
We'll teach you the science behind the food we eat. You'll learn how to create sustainable, nutritious, safe food. This applied science degree can lead to jobs in research, engineering, operations and management.
Our course builds your knowledge in food, nutrition and physiology to explain the connection between diet and health. You will:
Read about our research in Future Food.
In year three you'll apply your knowledge to develop a new food product. Working as teams, you'll use the food processing facility to create the finished product. From idea generation through to the final packaged product, you'll get a hands-on experience of what it takes to bring a food or drink product to market. There is also the opportunity to enter Ecotrophelia, a European food innovation student competition. In 2022 a team from the University of Nottingham won gold for their product.
