At Harper Adams our food students have access to state of the art specialist facilities and are assesed through an innovative combination of theory and real-world practice, setting them up for a success career at the end of their studies.
We caught up with First-year Food Industry Techinical Professional Degree Apprenticeship BSc (Hons) students Courtney Hutton and Olivia Weston who told us more about what they've been working on.
Olivia said: "We're in the Regional Food Academy conducting a benchmarking assessment for our food formulation and ingredients module as part of our first year and we've been doing various testing, so we've just done a sensory panel.
"We've conducted various tests for physical characteristics such as PH texture analysis colorimetry and available water."

Many students at Harper Adams favour the practical nature of our courses, which is true for Olivia:
"We're both really practical learners, we both work in the meat industry so it's a bit different to see these types of faciltiies, so it's nice to see different sides of the industry and put your learning into practice."
