There are people of all ages and all cultures building their lives here. But at its heart, the city retains a proud and distinctly Mancunian identity. The different districts of the city are like individual villages, easy to get around, and within walking distance of each other. Each part of town has its own character, ambience and particular tribes. Manchester is a truly exhilarating place to come and learn – no wonder so many people stay here after they’ve finished studying.

Q&A
Thanks for getting in touch. You can find information about graduate opportunities as well as IOSH membership on the Career Prospects screen of the MSc Occupational Safety, Health and Environment course webpage. It may also be worth you referring to the IOSH website for further guidance, as well as the government webpage regarding graduate visas: https://www.gov.uk/graduate-visa. I hope this helps.
Hi there,
Thank you for your query and interest in Manchester Metropoltan University.
With regards to career prospects and opportunities, many of our graduates begin their careers in new product development. You could work in a variety of roles across the food and nutrition industry though, in areas such as quality and food safety, food manufacturing, food marketing and technical management. Some of the roles you could pursue include food production manager, food technologist, consumer care manager, technical manager, food buyer, and legal compliance officer.
With regards to the practical and theoretical saspects of the course, there is a balance. You’ll have days with a mix of lectures, seminars and practical sessions (such as product development in our food technology laboratories), so that you develop technical skills as well as academic knowledge of food science and in other seminar sessions/workshops, you’ll learn how to promote food safety through quality management systems, including Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). This is so that you understand how to meet the legal responsibilities of food business operations in producing safe products, as well as the quality requirements of your customers. I can confirm that there will however be no practical assessment with 95% being assessed via coursework and 5% being assessed by examination.
You are more than welcome to contact the programme leader, Andrew Hollingsworth at a.hollingsworth@mmu.ac.uk should you have furhter questions related to the programme. Should you wish to see the prospectus page where you can view a breakdown of the course modules, please visit: MSc/PgDip Food Science and Innovation · Manchester Metropolitan University (mmu.ac.uk)

The course content is rich and quite practical. The tutors are very responsible. There are many kinds of extracurricular activities and they are interesting. The extension library courses are diverse and considerate.
Counseling service is good, uni staff are very supportive
Might give more help for international students.
They take great care of parcels and promptly address maintenance issues. The laundry facilities are straightforward, making life easier. However, the gym is well-equipped enough, but it would be good if they invested more into it, to make it a great place for fitness enthusiasts who value their workout routines. Overall, the attention to safety, maintenance, and amenities like the gym and laundry facilities make living here a great experience.
