Food Science with International Foundation Year Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Develop the expertise to meet society's demand for safe and sustainable food products with our accredited BSc Food Science with International Foundation Year degree.

This course is designed for international students. If you want to study food and nutrition at a British university but don’t have the correct qualifications, our four-year BSc Food Science with International Foundation Year degree enables you to undertake an undergraduate food science degree.

You will complete a foundation year (called Year 0) before progressing onto our three-year BSc Food Science degree. This means you can apply for a single four-year visa that covers the whole duration of your studies.

The foundation year is designed to equip you with the subject-specific and general study skills needed to cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Our high-quality teaching is geared towards the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.

In the National Student Survey 2024, 94% of our students said the course has developed the knowledge and skills they think they will need for their future (93.88% of responders from the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences).
