Tuition per year £11,000 university rangeThis is the fee range the university publishes for international students for a year at this level, not a price for this one course.

Ask us and we will confirm what the course you choose actually costs.
IELTS
5.0 level requirementThis is the English requirement the university publishes for study at this level, not one printed for this course.

Overview

Bakery and Patisserie Technology is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Food Sciences combines field work with laboratory analysis, and several departments have their own farms or field stations.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 5.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £11,000 a year.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
