Course content

The quality and safety of our food are vitally important in ensuring we have edible, nourishing and varied options at all price points. With changes to UK food and drink processing laws in the wake of Brexit, the industry must continue to maintain the highest standards.

This brand-new Food Quality and Safety with Industrial Practise MSc will provide you with:

• The knowledge and technical skills to assess food quality and safety in an industrial setting
• The analytical skills to address issues encountered by consumers and producers concerned with food safety and quality

Environmental sustainability

A key component to food safety is environmental sustainability, the importance of which is increasing on an exponential level. This Master’s maintains this thread throughout your studies – making it the only programme of its type to do this.

The programme will provide an understanding of the practical application of environmental management, and its role in the strategic development and operation of organisations and activities.
