Modules

Core modules cover factory design and operations. You'll learn about the hygiene, quality and legislation of manufacturing food. Working as a team, you will participate in a problem-based learning module in collaboration with the food industry. Further modules will cover all aspects of quality management and the techniques used. You'll study supply chain planning, forecasting and production management. A year-long module covers all the core skills you'll need for a career in the food industry. You'll learn these through practical activities in the food processing facility, alongside lectures. As part of the masters degree, you'll carry out a research project. This takes place either on-campus or as part of an industrial placement. You will design the study, use data collection and analysis and prepare a report.
