The event provided the ideal opportunity for those GCSE and A level students who have just received their results to discuss their options with the course teams and to talk to current students about “Life at Loughry”, which was promoted as a thoroughly enjoyable experience!    

However, the big talking point for students and their parents was the great career prospects and employment opportunities for graduates within the food industry, particularly with starting salaries of up to £22,000. Loughry has close links with the food and drink sector and Loughry graduates have found employment success in a wide range of areas, including new product development, quality management and retail marketing, within most of the food companies in Northern Ireland.

Loughry Campus offers courses in Food, Nutrition and Health, Food Technology, Food Design and Nutrition and Food Management and Marketing. Courses are available at all levels from National Diploma, suitable for post GCSE students, through Foundation Degree to Honours Degree and are offered on both a full and part-time basis.

Loughry has still some places on all courses for September 2010. If you would like further information about the courses at Loughry Campus, please contact us on Freephone: 0800 0284291.
