Key themes On this course, you’ll delve into global food systems, exploring the critical issues of quality, safety, and sustainability that underpin them. You’ll learn the key concepts of nutrition, physiology and biochemistry whilst developing your practical and analytical skills.
As you progress into semester 2, you'll further your knowledge of nutrition and its role in health and disease, while also developing your own food product – applying your expertise to ensure it is both safe and commercially viable. In semester 3, you'll either complete a dissertation, developing your critical research skills, or complete a consultancy project to investigate a relevant organisational issue.
Assessments include a variety of written, verbal, digital and practical formats. We’ll support your success with formative feedback and student supervision. And where appropriate we’ll build flexibility and personalisation into the assessment design to allow you to tailor your own learning.
