Program Overview

This two-year, full-time course will give you a scientific and technical understanding of food science and associated technologies, as well as the business skills required to respond to the current needs of the food industry.

The Irish food industry is growing strongly and thus offers rewarding job opportunities, including roles in junior management, food product development, market research and quality control.

In food science, the biological, physical and engineering sciences are applied to study the nature of foods, the causes of deterioration, the principles of food processing, and the improvement required to meet consumer demand.

This course will educate and train you in the practical and theoretical aspects of food science, in addition to the basic sciences such as biology, chemistry, microbiology and maths.

In addition to the scientific content, you’ll study the fundamentals of business and management that are essential to bringing food products to the marketplace.

There’s a major practical project in second year, in which you’ll work in a team to apply your scientific and business management knowledge to the development of food products. Teams often develop innovative products targeting the specific nutritional needs of consumers or emerging market trends.
