Food Processing Engineering MSc

Teesside University

Our MSc Food Processing Engineering is an ideal launchpad for graduates seeking careers in the thriving food and drink industry - an industry which is facing particularly acute skills shortages with excellent employability prospects for suitably skilled graduates.

The food and drink sector is the largest manufacturing sector in the UK delivering 18% of the UK's total output by value. Tasked by government and the Food and Drink Federation with achieving 20% growth in productivity by 2020, the industry is developing innovative solutions to increase productivity, reduce waste and energy usage, and introduce more efficient manufacturing to reduce costs and drive competitive advantage. Offering both full-time and part-time study modes, this course is accessible to recent graduates and to those in employment wishing to qualify to MSc level. The blended learning methodologies used in delivering the course means that employers seeking to upskill and retain their best employees can do so with minimum time off work.
