About this course

Level 3 Food Science and Nutrition Course in Otley. Classes run at Prince Henry's Grammar School, full-time over two years. Fees may apply depending on your circumstances, so contact the school directly to find out what support is available. This food science and nutrition qualification covers the science behind food, how nutrients affect the body, and how food policy and product development work in practice. You'll explore topics relevant to healthcare, sport, hospitality, food manufacturing, and public health. To join, you'll typically need at least a grade 4 in a relevant subject such as Biology, Hospitality and Catering, or Physical Education.

Who this course is for

An understanding of food science and nutrition is relevant to many industries and job roles. Care providers and nutritionists in hospitals use this knowledge, as do sports coaches and fitness instructors. Hotels and restaurants, food manufacturers and government agencies also use this understanding to develop menus, food products and policies that support healthy eating initiatives. Many employment opportunities within the field of food science and nutrition are available to graduates. This is an Applied General qualification. This means it is designed primarily to support learners progressing to university. It has been designed to offer exciting, interesting experiences that focus learning for 16 - 19 year old learners through applied learning, i.e. through the acquisition of knowledge and understanding in purposeful, work-related contexts, linked to the food production industry.
