Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Food Technology with Bioprocessing (D622)

Develop specialist scientific and technical skills, and explore the role of technology in the food industry, with University of Reading's BSc Food Technology with Bioprocessing course. This degree will provide students with in-depth knowledge of raw materials and methods for producing safe and healthy food products, with a focus on food engineering.

Students will explore innovative food technology techniques, underpinned by the fundamental science of food and nutrition. Their studies will include:

• microbiology • biochemistry • food processing and engineering • product development • food quality and sensory science • human physiology and nutrition

In your final year, students will undertake an exciting Product Development module. Given a brief by industry experts, they’ll work as a team to produce an original product, which they will showcase at an end-of-term trade show. This will provide them with valuable experience and key employability skills.

Between the second and final year, students will carry out a paid industrial training placement, lasting a year. Placements can be located anywhere in the UK, and occasionally take place abroad. In recent years, students have taken on a variety of roles, including quality assurance, consumer work, food technologists and product development scientists.
