Food and drink manufacturing and processing (FDMP) is vital to the UK economy. It’s the single largest manufacturing sector in the UK, accounting for 20% of total manufacturing, with 468,000 people employed. The wider food and drink sector, including food supply chain from the ‘Farm to Fork,’ contributes over £120 billion to the economy and employs 4.1m people – roughly 13% of the entire UK workforce. Due to the reduction of free movement from the EU and Covid-19, the industry’s chronical skills gap continues to widen. The UK Commission for Employment and Skills reported the FDMP sector will need 140,000 recruits by 2024.
Teesside University is highly praised for the links it maintains with local and national industries and businesses such as Marlow Foods (Quorn), SK Chilled Foods and Sainsbury’s. The university is committed to integrating with industry in the Tees Valley and has a record of producing employment-ready problem solvers and innovators.
Choose from three routes:
- MSc Food Processing Engineering is one-year full-time
- MSc Food Processing Engineering is two-year part-time
- MSc Food Processing Engineering (with Advanced Practice) is two-year full-time.
The one-year programme is a great option to gain a traditional MSc qualification. The two-year programme with advanced practice enhances your qualification by adding a vocational or research-based internship to the one-year master’s programme.
A vocational internship is a great way to gain work experience and give your CV a competitive edge. A research internship provides you with the opportunity to develop your analytical, teamwork, research and academic skills. We guarantee a research internship but cannot guarantee a vocational internship. We provide you with practical support and advice on how to find and secure your own vocational internship position.
