MSc Food Science and Innovation in Manchester United Kingdom | Manchester Metropolitan University

In this program, you'll examine modern food production methods while gaining insights into how food components' biochemical characteristics affect flavor, texture, and their nutritional and health benefits.

You'll study sensory assessment techniques, food regulations, and how international trade patterns, policies, and governance affect the food system's sustainability and broader consequences. The curriculum also covers contemporary manufacturing and analysis methods, health-enhancing foods, labeling laws, and strategies for maintaining food safety and nutritional value.

Practical abilities are crucial in the food sector, which is why they form a key component of this program. Our specialized food science and biochemistry labs will provide hands-on experience in food processing, sensory evaluation, microbial testing, and chemical/physical food analysis.
Additionally, you'll undertake a food innovation initiative where you'll design original food products, handling all aspects from market research and sensory testing to regulatory compliance - including the actual product development.
