Nutrition & Food Science

Level 3
Further Education
Armagh Campus

Overview

Through studying nutrition and food science you will learn about the nutritional requirements and current dietary recommendations for each stage in the life cycle. You will also investigate current research on diet, lifestyle and health. Your studies will enable you to explore food safety and quality including how to secure a safe food supply from a primary producer to the consumer.

Attendance at Individual or Group Pre-Entry Advice Sessions (IPEAS and GPEAS) may be required. These interviews may take place either on campus, via telephone or video call (Microsoft teams) and will play an important role in the selection of all courses.

For applicants who are at least 16 years of age on or before 1st July in the year of proposed entry to the course and who have recently been in education to key stage 4, must have one of the following:

Applicants wishing to study 3 A-Levels must have achieved 5 GCSEs at Grade C. It is desirable that these should include GCSE English Language Grade C and GCSE Mathematics Grade C or above.
Applicants wishing to study 4 A-Levels must have achieved 6 GCSEs at Grade B. It is essential that these include GCSE English Language Grade C and GCSE Mathematics Grade C or above.
GCSE Double Award Science CC or any GCSE Science grade C and Food and Nutrition GCSE grade C
BTEC First Diploma or Certificate or equivalent at Merit or above (with an overall qualification profile equivalent to 20 points or above)
Leaving Certificate – a profile equivalent to 14 points (of which 4 subjects must be achieved at Grade C3 or better at Ordinary Level) pre-2017. From 2017, 4 subjects must be achieved at 04 or better at Ordinary Level.
Attendance at IPEAS or GPEAS is essential in the selection of candidates in all courses.
Applicants wishing to study an A-Level in Nutrition & Food Science must have obtained GCSE Double award Science CC or any GCSE Science grade C and Food and Nutrition GCSE grade C.
