Food Science is forever adapting to changing trends in an attempt to find new ways to make food taste better, be safer, and improve cost and manufacturing. Students will study a range of modules, including food composition, food safety, microbiology, product development, sustainability, and physiology.
Food Science is popular in Ireland, so many industry professionals will visit and teach at your chosen institution. Sandwich placements are also an option for students who wish to spend a year gaining firsthand experience in the industry.
Food Science graduates will find employment in research, hygiene, nutrition, packaging, analysis, quality control and buying. Your degree can also be used in marketing and journalism, while postgraduate study is also a popular choice if you wish to continue your full-time studies.
Entry requirements vary for each Irish university, but international students will need an IELTS score of 6.5 overall, no lower than 6.0 in each component, and an International Baccalaureate score of 34 points.
