Food and Nutrition

About this course

Food and nutrition is a discipline concerned with the science of food itself and the biological, technological and public health dimensions of how it is produced, processed and consumed. It sits at the intersection of food science, nutritional biochemistry, food technology and food safety, and it addresses questions that are central to human health, commercial food production and the sustainability of the food system. The UK food and drink manufacturing sector is the country's largest manufacturing industry, and the demand for graduates with specialist knowledge in this area is substantial. At Sheffield Hallam University the programme is accredited by the Institute of Food Science and Technology, which is a recognised mark of quality and professional relevance. You will study how to balance the competing demands of nutritional quality, shelf life, sustainability and sensory attributes i
