We are very keen to develop links with schools and very much welcome enquiries and visits from students interested in studying Food, Nutrition or a related subject at the University.

The activities we offer to schools and individual students include Focus Days, University Open Days and Applicants Open Days.

Focus Days

These days provide an opportunity for sixth formers to taste student life at Huddersfield University. Activities include presentations, lectures, and opportunities to create and evaluate foods using our specialist equipment and laboratories.

Staff and students can tour our facilities and talk informally with teaching staff and current students.

In previous years we have offered Focus Days for AS and A2 Food Technology students, for Advanced GNVQ/AVCE Science students and for Advanced GNVQ/AVCE Health and Social Care students.

Previous activities have included:-

• "Fit to Eat" a product development competition
• "Ice cream" the science and technology behind the manufacture
• "Fats in Food" technological, nutritional and health implications
• "Sauces" manufacture and uses of dips, marinades, savoury and sweet sauces
