Summary
The MSc by Research in Food Process and Manufacturing Optimisation programme is tailored for individuals seeking a postgraduate qualification through comprehensive independent primary research in the field. Students will undertake supervised research in the modelling of food processes and manufacturing operations, and present their findings in a thesis. The programme integrates aspects of manufacturing operations, robotics application in food manufacturing processes, data analytics to cultivate critical-thinking, and research skills essential for postgraduate studies.
This programme offers students the autonomy to shape the focus of their research, receiving dedicated one-to-one support from experienced supervisors. Students delve into management of food process, manufacturing modelling and food process engineering principles, applying these to enhance operational efficiency, food safety performance, process validations, and sustainable food production within the manufacturing environment.
Students have the flexibility to conduct their research either at the main campus, Brayford Pool Campus in Lincoln, or at the National Centre for Food Manufacturing (NCFM) located at Holbeach Campus. While students may choose either campus, the expectation is that most of the research and support activities will take place at the NCFM campus.
Situated just 50 miles from Lincoln, the NCFM campus is strategically positioned in the heart of the UK's largest food manufacturing cluster. This unique location provides students with invaluable proximity to industry connections and access to exceptional specialist food facilities. It is worth noting that the NCFM campus does not offer residential facilities; therefore, postgraduate students are encouraged to secure their own local accommodation.
This dual-campus setup ensures that students can leverage the resources and industry ties offered by the NCFM campus while enjoying the broader academic environment at the main campus in Lincoln, enhancing their overall research experience.
