Why Study Food Science and Nutrition?Food shapes our lives, bringing people together and defining different cultures. Occasions are often marked by a celebratory meal and certain foods mark key events in the religious and social calendar. Food is central to all of our lives.

With the advancement of food technology, food manufacture has allowed for enhanced food quality, improved food safety and increasingly competitive options for consumers. Developments in food production have also given way to consideration of the impact of the modern day diet on our health.

The production and consumption of food raises many questions: – What causes food allergies? – How can food processing lead to high

quality products? – What is the effect of processed foods

in the diet? – Can you believe all nutrition labelling

and nutrition claims? – What can be done to address the

obesity crisis? – What is the role of biotechnology in

the food industry? – What is the importance of functional

foods to the industry?

These are just some of the questions that food scientists at Leeds seek to answer.

Food science and nutrition use science to understand the extraordinarily complex nature of food and the impact it has on our health and well-being. The study of food not only looks at the development of food products but also the changes that take place from the farm to the fork. The subject considers nutrition, diet and health, food quality, shelf life and manufacture.

Our courses also reflect on food-related issues and looks at the wider picture using science alongside aspects of psychology, politics, social science, health issues and ethics.

Food science and nutrition considers current issues in today’s society, from the obesity crisis, to the ever-growing demand for the supply and production of healthier foods.

“I am from Mumbai in India and I am studying food quality assurance which is an excellent course. It deals with the quality of food, a basic and important part of the food industry. The range of modules covered in the curriculum influenced me to study at Leeds.”

Pallavi Nagrale — MSc Food Science and Nutrition

WHY StudY Food SCIeNCe aNd NutrItIoN

“According to the Health Survey for England, nearly two-thirds of all Britons are overweight or obese and the number is rising. The wider costs of obesity are expected to more than double to £37m by 2025.”

The environmental, food chain and rural sector uses about 77% of the UK’s total landmass (18.4 million hectares) and employs over a million people (Prospects).

The food and drink manufacturing industry is thriving. With around 470,000 employees and a turnover of £74bn a year, it’s the largest manufacturing sector in the UK, and sits second in terms of productivity in the global league of food and drink (The Independent, 2008).With technological advancements and ever increasing demand for new products creating more roles, there are some great opportunities out there for our home/EU and overseas students, all over the world.

There are many opportunities within the food industry from jobs in nutrition and new product development to roles in the supply chain, purchasing, logistics and distribution.

You may decide to become a development scientist working on new foodstuffs and producing food which is safe and nutritious with a consistent flavour, colour and texture. There are roles within this area in industry but also within government and local authority food inspection departments.

Other job roles include industrial buyer, retail buyer, production manager or quality assurance manager.

“Our food industry is hugely important to growth, employing 3.7 million people and contributing almost £90 billion to the UK economy. But we know that there is a big skills gap right across the food chain. The industry must attract more well qualified and ambitious candidates if it is to continue to grow and innovate.”

Jim Paice, Minister of State for Agriculture and Food, June 2011
