Program Overview
Our MSc Food Process Engineering provides you with an opportunity to develop your chemical, process engineering, food science, or biology knowledge to the specific requirements and context of the food and drink sector. You'll explore core theories and subjects across chemical engineering, process engineering, brewing, distilling, bioscience, and biology to set you up for a process engineering career in the food and beverage industry.
During your studies, you'll apply engineering skills and knowledge to the specialist requirements of the food and drink sector and gain a broad spectrum of expertise. You'll assess sustainability issues involved in food production and learn to apply a variety of solutions to food and drink sustainability problems.
You'll have the opportunity to learn from a comprehensive course structure, exploring topics in food and beverage biotechnology, processing, chemistry, toxicology, microbiology, nutrition, and biochemistry whilst also analysing emerging food products, and the life cycle of food production. During the Future Foods course and your summer Dissertation, you'll customise your learning by focusing in on a chosen subject as part of your individual research projects.
Beyond the science and engineering, you will work with your academics and peers to gain valuable transferable skills. You'll develop your team working ability, communication, time management, prioritisation, job seeking, and interview skills and techniques.
Upon completion of the programme, you will have the breadth and depth of knowledge in the necessary subjects required by the food and drink industry. You'll understand the underlying principles, concepts, theories, methods, and current and emerging developments in the food industry, which will equip you for life after graduation.
