Sciences de l'alimentation et de la consommation (avec mention)

Delve into the complex relationships between food and the consumer while you learn how to develop and produce safe, healthy, and nutritious foods, bearing in mind all the factors that impact on consumer choice. You get to explore areas such as:  The techniques and skills needed to develop new food products.  How to innovate and make healthy, delicious foods that are safe to consume. The quality and safety requirements needed to manufacture foods. How to meet the needs of society, industry and consumers for sustainable food quality.  This degree is accredited by the Institute of Food Science and Technology. An accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by industry, and means that accredited degrees produce graduates with industry relevant skills. The built-in work placement - which you can study abroad - gives you real-life work experience and great networking opportunities for the future.  If you have a passion for everything to do with food and want to study a wide-ranging and flexible degree, then this is for you.
