Postgraduate Prospectus

This course has a start date in September  

The aim of the Postgraduate Diploma Food Production Management is to train you to undertake a production or technical management role within the food processing industry.

A feature of the course will be the strong interaction with the food industry. There will be an opportunity to visit a number of food factories and speakers from industry will make a significant contribution to the course.

You will acquire a basic knowledge of the special factors associated with food processing and food quality assurance. You will also be equipped with management skills that will enable you to contribute to this industry in both the developed and developing worlds.

The programme is co-ordinated by the Division of Food Sciences (based at the Sutton Bonington Campus) and management aspects are taught primarily by the University’s Business School (based at the Jubilee Campus).

The course is ideally suited to those wishing to pursue careers in food companies, e.g. quality assurance manager and sensory scientist, as well as those planning to advance to higher research degree (PhD) study.
