Overview

This page covers Food Science, Nutrition and Wellbeing across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

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

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.

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.
