Food safety and control plays a vital role in the evolving food supply landscape. The safety, hygiene and authenticity of food are of paramount importance. This course is designed to provide a route for science graduates and food industry professionals.
Study food safety, hygiene and regulation, including risk assessment, food inspection and compliance with food laws.
Develop expertise in auditing, enforcement and food safety management systems.
Mapped to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) APC-Food syllabus, this course supports those aiming to work towards the Higher Certificate in Food Control (HCFC), combining academic knowledge with practical regulatory skills. The HCFC consists of an academic award (such as the MSc in Food Safety and Control) and workplace-based experience that is assessed by the CIEH through a Competency Development Portfolio and a Professional Discussion. Please note the workplace-based elements are not included in this course.
