Design & Technolocy (Food Technology)

UPDATED 20151021 12:09:04

There are three main themes to the syllabus at both AS and A level. You will study food science and the main components of food, with the opportunity to develop and design food products and gain an insight into manufacturing methods. This is an exciting course with lots of opportunities. OUT OF SCHOOL VISITS These are an essential part of the course to gain an insight into food production. Examples of visits include Nestle, Delmonte Fresh, Warburton's, Betty's, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and particular student interests. A LEVEL UNIT 3: DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE This unit involves developing an understanding of food science, processes and manufacturing through practical work to support theory and involvement with local manufacturers. A LEVEL UNIT 4: DESIGN AND MAKE ACTIVITY In this unit you will work on an area based entirely on your own interest e.g. previous students have looked at airline meals and visited airline catering companies and designed a new range of starters, main courses and desserts. The choice is yours. You would probably be surprised at the range of courses at university or college open to you. They go far beyond catering to include food science, product management, dietician, food and media, food and journalism etc. It makes a good combination with many other subjects such as Chemistry and Biology for food science, Economics for product development and consumer studies, English for media studies and Sociology for social and community studies
