Entry requirements
Normally an honours degree at 2:2 or above in a science or recognised equivalent qualification in science. For example, food science, nutrition, health and wellbeing, exercise science or biological sciences are all relevant disciplines. Applicants with an honours degree in an alternative discipline and relevant work experience are considered on an individual basis. We consider enquiries from those who have substantial experience working in relevant positions in the food industry or in nutrition related positions but do not have the normal entry requirements. We may invite these potential students for an interview to discuss their particular background, experience and qualifications. Work Experience Route: If English is not your first language you will need an IELTS 6.5 score with a minimum of 6.0 in all skills or equivalent. Non Work Experience Route: If English is not your first language you will need an IELTS 6.0 score with a minimum of 5.5 in all skills or equivalent.
