Food Quality, Safety and Innovation Master of Science - MSc (UG)

A key component to food safety is environmental sustainability, the importance of which is increasing exponentially. 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.

You will be able to evaluate the environmental performance of an organisation or activity and recommend appropriate measures to minimise pollution and food waste, and design appropriate control systems. Upon graduation, you will understand the policy, legal and ethical issues, and technical factors which influence environmental management to operate and plan sustainable projects.

You will be taught by a team of academics with a wealth of experience in the food sector, have contact with leading figures in industry, and take part in either a research project or industry placement.

Industry placement

Please note: you will be registered on the MSc Food Quality, Safety and Innovation, which course includes a research project. All students will get the opportunity to apply to undertake an industrial placement as an alternative to the research project. Placements, subject to availability, are on a competitive basis and are subject to an application and interview with the placement provider. If successful, you will be moved on to the MSc Food Quality and Safety with Industrial Practice.
