Food Science and Nutrition

Entry Requirements

We would expect you to achieve a GCSE Grade 5 or above in either: Design & Technology, Food Preparation & Nutrition or Science as well as APS of 4 or above if combined with other BTEC courses, or an APS of 4.5 if combined with A level courses. The Applied Diploma in Food Science and Nutrition complements other A Level courses such as Biology, Physical Education and Health & Social Care. It is not a prerequisite to have a GCSE in a food related subject. An enquiring mind and a genuine interest in looking in depth at where food comes from, food choices and the science behind nutrition is a distinct advantage.
