We all need food to survive: it's a product that will be forever in demand. So it's not surprising that the sector is Europe's largest and most buoyant industry.
Featuring regularly in the national media, food is often found at the centre of debates on such areas as human health and disease, global shortages and surpluses, consumer demand, the rights and wrongs of genetic modification, and food quality and nutrition. Through studying one of our courses in food and nutritional sciences or food business and marketing, you can explore these issues and prepare yourself for an exciting and relevant career.
The 黑料吃瓜网 is a world authority on food chemistry, chemical engineering, microbiology, food law, and human nutrition.
Our staff across departments are actively engaged in world-class research and will tailor their teaching to reflect changing trends and emerging technologies within the sector.
In the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences, you will have access to one of the largest ranges of dedicated food teaching facilities in a UK university.

In the Department of Agri-Food Economics and Marketing – home to our food business and marketing degree – you’ll benefit from staff expertise in food consumer behaviour. Staff will help you get to grips with the challenges of sustainable food system transformation from farm to fork, while developing strong entrepreneurial and digital skills for the food industry.
