Food Science and Nutrition

About this course

Food science and nutrition sit at the point where chemistry, microbiology, physiology and public health all meet the most basic of human needs. Food science addresses the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of food, how those properties affect quality, safety and shelf life, and how they can be understood and improved through processing, packaging and formulation. Nutrition examines what the body needs from food to function well, how different dietary patterns affect health and disease, and how populations can be supported to eat in ways that sustain long-term wellbeing. Together they form a discipline of genuine importance at a time when food systems, public health and sustainability are under scrutiny as never before. At Queen's University of Belfast, this three-year full-time programme is ranked among the strongest food science programmes in the UK. You will develop kno
