Overview

Food and Consumer Science is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Food and Beverage Studies includes survey and data skills that carry directly into consultancy work.

Tuition ranges from £16,950 to £17,950 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

Careers opportunities
