Our students are existing and ‘would-be’ technicians, consultants, researchers and managers working throughout the food and biotechnology pipelines: from raw material production, to processing and refining, to product development, to waste management and valorisation - or those wishing to move into these sectors. Environmental and economic sustainability cuts across all aspects of the programme.
