The three courses, launching 2023, will sit within the Faculty of Education, Health and Human Sciences (BSc Speech and Language Therapy) and the Faculty of Engineering and Science (BSc Food Science & Nutrition and BSc Forensic Toxicology).
Students who enrol onto the Food Science & Nutrition degree will learn laboratory techniques and testing, enhancing sustainability and creativity, and addressing climate change within food chains. The course offers a combination of modules in the areas of food science and nutrition that will provide students with a grounding in all aspects food production and food systems and knowledge about the role of human nutrition in food production.
Students studying Forensic Toxicology, BSc Hons, will benefit from purpose-built facilities and links to local emergency and counter-terrorism services. The new programme is tailored specifically to careers in Forensic Toxicology, but transferable to other areas. Students will learn about many different types of drugs, how they act on the human body, how they are detected, how to report evidence of drugs, and defence arguments used in the court of law.
The new BSc in Speech and Language Therapy students will explore areas including psychology, linguistics and phonetics, anatomy, physiology and speech and language therapy practice frameworks. Students will undertake clinical placements across all three years of their degree at a broad range of hospitals, communities, and schools.
