Beschreibung des Programms

Providing nutritious food is a key target for the government — and has become a growing trend throughout society. The pressure to improve food standards falls on academic and industry experts to provide sustainable solutions that’ll suit every aspect of society. From advancing quality control to developing new, healthy eating trends, being qualified in food science and nutrition will put you at the forefront of finding these solutions.

The Food Science and Nutrition MSc here at Leeds draws on ongoing world-leading research conducted in the School you’ll be studying in, teaching you the latest innovations, issues and practices in food science and nutrition.

Throughout the course, you’ll investigate the scientific aspects of food, nutrition and the wider implications of diet on our health and well-being. The breadth of the programme gives an appreciation of key positions in food and health, as well as in food composition, and the manufacturing of foods.

This means that, once you graduate, you’ll be fully equipped with the forward-thinking, relevant and topical knowledge and skill set sought after by global companies in the industry.

You’ll also have access to specialist facilities that’ll prepare you for working in the field and a programme team consisting of academics and researchers who work within the School’s research institutes and groups.

Accreditation

This degree is accredited by the Institute of Food Science and Technology.

This accreditation signifies that Leeds offers the best possible food-related education, giving students the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to enter into employment in the food industry, research, education and the public sector.

Learning and teaching

Teaching is through lectures, practical classes, tutorials, seminars and supervised research projects. Extensive use is made of IT and a wide range of materials are available to enable you to study at your own pace and in your own time, to enhance and extend the material taught formally.

Specialist facilities

You’ll have access to excellent teaching and laboratory facilities, supplemented by extensive computing equipment. Our specialist facilities include the latest equipment for investigating the colloidal nature of foods, small and wide-angle X-ray scattering equipment (SAXs & WAXS), cutting-edge electron microscopy facilities, texture analysers, tribometers as well as HPLC and GC analytical equipment.

Our Virtual Learning Environment will help to support your studies: it’s a central place where you can find all the information and resources for the School, your programme and modules.

You can also benefit from support to develop your academic skills, within the curriculum and through online resources, workshops, one-to-one appointments and drop-in sessions.

Programme team

Dr Mahmood Akhtar is Programme Leader for Food Science and Nutrition. He is part of the Digestion and Delivery, Food Colloids and Soft Matter at Interfaces, as well as Novel Food Design and Processing research groups.

The wider programme team is made up of academics and researchers from across the School of Food Science and Nutrition who work within the School’s research institutes and groups.

In this course, you’ll be taught by our expert academics, from lecturers to professors. You may also be taught by industry professionals with years of experience, as well as trained postgraduate researchers, connecting you to some of the brightest minds on campus.
