What the college says

Now more than ever, there is a strong demand for fresh, tasty and healthy food. You only need to open Instagram to see people across the world showcasing their favourite ‘nutritional’ trends. As we become more conscious of our health, studying a food science and nutrition course will give you an insight into these trends and how to pick fact from fiction. This course will give you the power to educate consumers and encourage new ways of thinking, drive important discussions and create healthier communities. Each unit within the qualification has an applied purpose which acts as a focus for the learning in the unit and provides practical experiences alongside theory so will appeal to learners who enjoy more practical based learning. We will cook throughout the two years and develop practical skills alongside technical knowledge. This qualification is a very popular course as it complements learning in many different subjects related to health and social care, sport, or science and where an understanding of nutrition and diets is important. This course would also be of relevance to those learners with no prior experience of the subject and who will enjoy a subject with both coursework and examinations elements.
