This excellent opportunity to study abroad for one year is preceded by language and cultural studies courses at the University to equip you for your destination. Courses and project work are normally taken at a University in Spain, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Austria, Denmark or France. Our close contact with industry through research links, also opens many doors for vacation work for our students. In addition to the wide range of companies which receive our students for placements, exciting opportunities now exist to link up with Northern Foods, the U.K.'s leading chilled food manufacturer and distributor with 17 operating businesses and more than 50 sites. It is because of our research expertise at the Sutton Bonington Campus that we teach the most modern aspects of Food Science and Food Microbiology.
Students undertake their own research projects, relevant to their chosen course, in the final year.
The projects are normally laboratory based and allow you access to sophisticated scientific equipment. Whatever the project, students work in close collaboration with professional researchers, often with industrial links, on problems of real significance. Several of the research projects carried out by undergraduates have won the prize awarded nationally by the Institute of Food Science and for the best undergraduate dissertation. The University of Nottingham's Sutton Bonington Campus is situated ten miles south of Nottingham. All first year students are offered a residential place in Bonington Hall, and transport links are good between the University Park Campus in Nottingham and between Leicester and Derby.
