Shaped by major food industry employers, the degree develops you for key roles in quality and technical management within the food sector helping the industry meet the demand for highly skilled technicians and managers.

You will gain expert knowledge of food factory processing and automation, quality assurance and new product development and manufacturing management techniques, with an emphasis on vocational learning which fits in to the busy and ever-changing environment of this sector.

The course focuses on the food supply chain, from a global, regional and local perspective. You will consider the impact of economic and environmental drivers on food policy and markets - including waste management, energy efficiency, food quality and food safety, underpinned by an innovative science-based analytical and predictive approach to food production.

The BSc (Hons) can be taken as a top-up to the Foundation Degree in Food Manufacture - following a short bridging programme - or a relevant HND. The entire part-time option from Certificate level, through Diploma and up to BSc (Hons) will take approximately four and a half years to complete.

This unique course will provide you with expertise in food manufacturing, business management, new product development and packaging design, with an emphasis on developing your project management skills and creative thinking.

The concept of the course centres on the food supply chain, and whilst focusing on a global perspective, also considers regional and local supply. An integral part of this concept is raising awareness of the individual’s role within the supply chain. You will consider the impact of economic and environmental drivers on food policy and markets, which will naturally encompass studies on waste management, energy efficiency, food quality and food safety, underpinned by an innovative science-based analytical and predictive approach to food production.

You will study a range of subjects which blend science, technology, management and commodity knowledge. The management modules will also provide you with a strategic overview of the industry, drawing on current legislation and its impact on the industry and society, as well as develop your skills in becoming an effective manager, giving you the tools to control manufacturing performance.

The food industry is changing rapidly driven by increased competition, both within the UK and abroad, new legislation and need to meet the increasingly complex demands of consumers. The need to increase productivity and market share has resulted in the rapid development of sophisticated processing technologies in food manufacture and a movement towards more complicated supply and distribution chain throughout the world.
