Who is this aimed at?

The Degree Apprenticeship is equivalent to the first steps on the Higher Education ladder, and is aimed at applicants, aged 18 and over, interested in developing a scientific or technical career. Some Apprentices start in entry level roles whilst others are more experienced staff perhaps without formal qualifications in the field. Usually their career and responsibilities progress throughout the duration of the programme. It is ideal for those in roles covering quality assurance, technical, production and new product development.

You will study a range of disciplines in food science and technology, including biochemistry, product development and manufacturing processes and technologies.

The block study approach allows you to combine studies with work and apply what you learn at University to the workplace.

You will be working with others from the food industry, sharing work and study experiences.

This course is accredited by the Institute of Food Science and Technology
