The three-year Bachelor of Food Studies tackles the challenges facing contemporary food systems and cultures through a framework of critical thinking, creativity and effective communication.
Gain both specialist and broad-based knowledge of global and local food systems through an interdisciplinary approach that includes hands-on, experiential subjects like fermentation and sensory education.
In exploring issues that go to the heart of our food systems – health and wellbeing, technology, ethics, sustainability and gastronomy – you are will be equipped to engage critically with food policy debates, effectively communicate complex issues to non-specialist audiences and help shape and promote the development of more sustainable and ethical food systems.
