Course Overview

Our Food Systems and Management MSc represents a unique offering within the UK and Europe as it examines the whole food chain ('farm to fork'), from pre-harvest to market. The course has been developed due to extensive industry-led research and integrates science, technology, and management.

You will have the relevant knowledge and skills to pursue various career opportunities in today's food industry. Practical sessions and field trips are also an integral part of this MSc. With visits and workshops to, for example, McDonald’s headquarters and G’s Fresh, you will get a first-hand insight into how large global companies operate. 

In association with our internationally-recognized School of Management, the Food Systems and Management MSc offers a module in Leading Corporate Sustainability. This module will outline businesses' significant sustainability challenges, explore how companies can respond positively to them, and how corporate action can be best configured to promote responsible and sustainable business strategies.

This MSc is supported by our team of professional thought leaders, including Professor Andrew Thompson, who is influential in Agrifood and an integral part of this MSc.
