Course summary
Our Baking Science and Technology (including foundation year) CertHE, DipHE or BSc (Hons) degree is either a two, three or four-year course with a built-in foundation year. This course is a perfect match if you want to study baking science and technology at the undergraduate level but cannot meet the entry requirements for the traditional three-year course. It will introduce you to critical reflection, analytical and problem solving and strategic thinking in a broad context at Foundation Level. The aim is to develop the academic and scientific knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary to promote success in the three-year baking science and technology degree. The skills also enhance student employability by embedding a cohesive blend of professional and academic skills while providing career support and making available opportunities for problem-based learning, volunteering, and engaging in extra-curricular activities at university and beyond. The Foundation Year provides students with a solid foundation in academic skills and science-related disciplines, instilling knowledge and practical skills to prepare them for the Baking Science and Technology undergraduate degree.
