Food Chain Systems MSc is a unique course in the UK and EU that examines the whole of the food chain from pre-harvest to market through the integration of science, technology and management.

The holistic approach of the MSc responds to the increasingly integrated food supply chain (‘farm to fork’) and will equip you with the knowledge, skills and practical experience needed to pursue the many opportunities available within a variety of food-related sectors, including, manufacturing; retailers; Government agencies; logistics and supply chain management and research institutions.

The MSc comprises ten taught modules, an integrating component and a research project and thesis. A four month industry project placement allows you to develop your knowledge and actively apply it in the ‘real world’.
