Food Courses
The food and drink industry is one of the largest employers in the UK and as such requires skilled personnel to ensure a consistent supply of quality product for discerning, quality conscious consumers.
In Northern Ireland food and drink businesses are the largest contributor to sales and employment within the overall manufacturing sector.
The food industry is very competitive and is constantly changing and using technical innovations to meet consumer demands. As the world population increases, food technologists are challenged with developing innovative applications in biotechnology and processing of food as well as understanding the link between food, nutrition and health.
