Extended Degree Food Science and Innovation (Extended)

What we eat comes to us through a food supply chain, from the farm to the food on your plate. Our students are able to see this chain in action right here on campus, from our commercial farm with its diverse crops and livestock, to processing in our specialist food centre - and finally enjoying delicious food in our dining hall,You'll learn about the different stages of the chain from the farmers growing crops and rearing livestock, to those researching, creating and testing new products, to the processors who create what we eat, and the marketers, logistics and retail professionals who bring it to you, the consumer.Not to mention the scientists, project managers, finance and purchasing specialists, legal, sales and human resource professionals. All have a part to play - and as you learn more about the industry, through lectures, practicals, seminars, visits to food companies and your placement, you'll get a better idea of where your own interests might take you.Our friendly and helpful teaching staff know their stuff; they are experienced technologists and specialists in food production, manufacture and human nutrition. You'll also learn from visiting lecturers from industry and the public sector, and other Harper Adams staff specialising in agriculture, livestock and business.Extended degree programmes are a means of accessing degree study should you not meet the entry requirements for honours degree programmes. These five-year courses replace some of our former foundation degree and extended foundation degree programmes. Candidates will be assessed at the end of their first year of study and progress to either an ordinary degree (BSc) or Honours Degree (BSc Hons).
