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.

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)

campus is a lovely place to be, very clean and well looked after. I'm not a huge social person but have gone to a few events organised by the F1 society and have always felt welcomed and respected.
MMU has a lot of buildings, albeit some are quite spread out, that offer a lot of facilities and equipment fit for studying. I would prefer it if the temporary library actually contained books and more study areas, as during exam season these can become really difficult to obtain and can leave you with nowhere suitable to study as someone who cannot focus in a social environment/open space study area. One thing I don’t like is that the roof terrace of the Dalton Building is only accessible to students studying in the fields of doctoring and science, as I feel as though there is no reason for the access to be limited and I pay a lot of money to attend this university too. On the whole though, the uni is very sociable and organises events frequently in and around campus and there is 24 hour security on site for those living in halls. The careers service are also very easy to reach out to and provide lots of helpful information.
The university is definitely worth coming to, transferring from uni of manchester to here was an incredible decision for me
Facilities are great and the societies and sports opportunities also however the cost of the societies is abit high
really enjoyed it, very welcoming
I really enjoy the range on societies, the different campus all have great social and study spaces, while the careers service can be limited it's still really good
Great uni, great accommodations, pushed me to become social which I'm very grateful for and my course is amazing.
It’s actually helpful at the union, as well as the activities. I looove the roller skating night!
I have been at the uni for 4 years now and the facilities and support is outstanding, the buildings and facilities are up to daye and are still being updated regularly. I would highly recommend man met.
It's Alright overall, lots of support and help services provided.
its fun living here. I really enjoyed the experience
The university is so supportive and my course on Fashion Art Direction is amazing. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to have a career in fashion. The facilities part of the university are great with so many buildings to study in with different facilities.
Great university to be at. The support and facilities are exceptional and a real sense of feeling as though I belong at this great university. Staff are great too
I love my university spot for self studies and the food canteen is very nice. The course is designed is very easy for students to prepare in time.
As a top up student coming to UK for my third year was already very scary but as soon as i went to man met, met my heads, peers and union - everything felt into place, it wasnt like where am i, it felt like i am here, now. i have had the best support from everyone literally everyone, the staff, the university members even from different department, the union. my most cherised and experience of a lifetime.
