Course summary

Programme Overview

The quality and safety of our food are vitally important in ensuring we have edible, nourishing and varied options at all price points.

This brand-new Food Quality, Safety and Innovation MSc will provide you with:

The knowledge and technical skills to assess food quality and safety in a research or industrial setting

The analytical skills to address issues encountered by consumers and producers concerned with food safety and quality

Environmental sustainability

A key component to food safety is environmental sustainability, the importance of which is increasing exponentially. This Master’s maintains this thread throughout your studies – making it the only programme of its type to do this.

The programme will provide an understanding of the practical application of environmental management, and its role in the strategic development and operation of organisations and activities.

You will be able to evaluate the environmental performance of an organisation or activity and recommend appropriate measures to minimise pollution and food waste, and design appropriate control systems. Upon graduation, you will understand the policy, legal and ethical issues, and technical factors which influence environmental management to operate and plan sustainable projects.

You will be taught by a team of academics with a wealth of experience in the food sector, have contact with leading figures in industry, and take part in either a research project or industry placement.

As a graduate of this Master's programme, you will have:

  • The knowledge and understanding to embrace the challenges around food quality, safety and sustainability – both in local, national and international contexts
  • The ability to manage and control foodborne disease
  • The skills to develop methodologies required to address issues arising from food directives and other forms of statutory instruments
  • The knowledge to integrate results and reach conclusions regarding the holistic problems of food quality, safety and sustainability
