This programme is aimed at engineering, science and technology graduates who wish to develop their knowledge of the scientific and technological aspects of food manufacturing and processing and advance their careers as engineers, technologists or managers in the food and beverage industries. We value independent, critical thinking and leadership with a focus on numeracy, technology and design. We create a dynamic learning environment where all students can work individually and in teams, with a strong link to our internationally recognised research-active staff, ensuring a practical and contemporary learning experience. Lectures, practicals and problem-based learning are at the heart of the programme experience. There is a focus on ICT, food manufacturing and bioprocess technology. We use a broad range of assessments including examinations, reports, projects, group work, case studies and peer evaluation. The programme results in a MEngSc in Food Engineering leading to career opportunities in the food, bioprocess, manufacturing and related industries.
