at Leeds.

Why do some foods help reduce the likelihood of heart disease and cancer? How can we best supply healthy food to nearly 7 billion people worldwide? Are we making any progress against fighting obesity and malnutrition?

To discover the answers and become one of the future leaders in the field of food science and nutrition, choose to study at Leeds.

We offer a number of food-related disciplines which take a scientific and technical approach to understanding the nature of raw food materials, their transformation into products, as well as the long-term effects food and drink can have on our health and well-being.
