Outline Outline The Food Science Specialisation focuses on the composition of foods, the ingredient interactions under different processing conditions to develop new food products. The specialisation will provide students with in-depth knowledge on food chemistry and the impact of processing on food products. Students may also undertake a work placement with an external organisation to gain hands on experience.
What you'll learn - have demonstrated further and expanded knowledge and understanding in the field of study that is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of food science, GC1
- can apply their further and expanded knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to food science, and have competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving problems within food science, including using digital technologies, GC2,GC3
- can gather and interpret relevant data within food science to inform judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues, including being aware of the diversity of international perspectives associated with food science, and how these impact upon the practice of food Science, GC4,GC5
- display a high standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member, GC6
