Learn the science behind providing safe food to the public with our MSc Food Technology - Quality Assurance degree.
On this course, you’ll work with expert academics from the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences as you:
As part of your studies, you will work in some of the UK’s largest dedicated food teaching facilities. These include:
Food Processing Centre. This pilot plant is unique to Reading. There is almost 1100m2 of floor space devoted to approximately £4m worth of equipment. Used primarily for teaching and learning, the plant contains processing equipment for food product development work. No other UK university offers what we do under one roof.
Flavour Centre. The Centre hosts facilities that enable you to gain comprehensive practical experience in taste and aroma analysis and flavour extraction.
We are proud of our research impact, 100% of which has been recognised as world-leading or internationally excellent (REF, 2014 - Agriculture, Veterinary and Food Science). As an MSc Food Technology - Quality Assurance student, you will also have access to the most up-to-date knowledge in the field of food science and technology.
WHAT CAREER CAN YOU HAVE?
Careers for MSc Food Technology graduates
An MSc Food Technology - Quality Assurance degree offers a wide range of career options.
Food technologists, for example, ensure the safety and quality of food in the production, manufacturing and distribution stages. They are highly valued for their problem-solving and technical skills.
Many of our graduates have gone on to work in food in industry, government and education. The food and drink industry is the UK’s largest manufacturing sector. It’s responsible for adding £21.9bn to the gross value of the UK economy - and it needs new graduates to meet its recruitment needs.
Other graduates apply their research skills to pursue a higher degree through research and development in industry.
Applicants are typically required to have at least a lower second-class honours degree in a pure or applied science (or equivalent from a university outside the UK). Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning may be considered based on relevant work and other experience. For MSc Nutrition and Food Science, your degree should have a significant element of biological science.
