Course Information

Consumer Food Science involves the study of factors that influence our food choices and food production, such as cultural and ethical issues, sensory perception (taste, appearance, smell), food quality, policy, consumer behaviours, diet, nutrition, lifestyle and marketing influences. This area of study provides an opportunity to combine courses in the consumer aspects of food science, with business skills through a compulsory minor (or second major). Consumer Food Science is complemented very well by a minor (or second major) in Marketing and this is a popular choice with employers. It also works well with subjects such as Management or Entrepreneurship. Combining Consumer Food Science with Nutrition Communication is another choice that opens different career options. A range of combinations is available depending on your interests.
