Applied Food Safety and Quality Management with Industrial Practice, MSc

The industrial placement lasts approximately one year. This is an opportunity to put into practice the knowledge and experience you've gained during the first year of the master's course plus any previous study or experience. You'll be able to engage with current industrial systems, processes and practices, which contribute to your professional development as a manager in the engineering sector.

Our Faculty Employability Team provides support and guidance. We work with a organisation that specialises in helping students to secure an industrial placement. However, it is your responsibility to secure the placement for your second year. This could be with a local or international employer in a relevant industrial sector.

Applicants should have:

A Bachelor's degree at 2:2 or above (or equivalent) from a recognised university

Or an equivalent professional qualification in an appropriate science subject.

If you do not have formal entry qualifications, you may be admitted depending on your work experience and responsibilities.
