A PhD in Food Production is an exciting and rewarding journey that allows you to delve deep into the world of food and its production processes.

What's it like to study a PhD in Food Production?

Studying a PhD in Food Production offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of innovative and sustainable food production methods. You will have the chance to explore various aspects of food production, such as food safety, quality control, processing techniques, and the impact of technology on food production.

During your PhD, you will work closely with experienced researchers and faculty members who will guide and support you throughout your research journey. You will have access to state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities, allowing you to conduct experiments and gather data to further your understanding of food production.

In addition to your research, you will also have the opportunity to attend conferences, present your work, and collaborate with other researchers in the field. This will help you build a strong network and gain exposure to the latest advancements in food production.

Entry requirements for a PhD in Food Production

To pursue a PhD in Food Production, you will typically need a relevant undergraduate or Masters degree in Food Science, Food Technology, or a related field. A strong academic background and research experience will be advantageous. Additionally, you may be required to submit a research proposal outlining your intended area of study and research objectives.

PhD in Food Production funding options

Funding for PhDs in Food Production may be available from various sources, including governments, universities and charities, business or industry. See our full guides to PhD funding for more information.

PhD in Food Production careers

A PhD in Food Production opens up a wide range of career opportunities in the food industry. You could work in research and development, where you contribute to the development of new food products and processes. You may also find opportunities in quality assurance and food safety, ensuring that food products meet regulatory standards.

Furthermore, you could pursue a career in academia, becoming a professor or researcher at a university, where you can continue to explore and contribute to the field of food production through teaching and research. Other career paths include working for government agencies, consulting firms, or food manufacturing companies.

How does antimicrobial resistance impact on seafood supplies? Developing our understanding to ensure future resilience.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global challenge that threatens the resilience of our food supplies, including seafood, as resistance reduces treatment options when disease outbreaks happen. Read more

Impact of grain roughness on porous media flows under conditions relevant to the subsurface

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Integrative approach to valorise vegetable waste

The FAO estimates that around one third of all food produced worldwide is not consumed, which represents around 1.3 billion tons per year, and is wasted throughout the whole food chain, from farmers to consumers. Read more

Decarbonisation of the Food System

As the world transitions to a low carbon economic system, dramatic changes will be required across the all sectors. The food system, which is currently estimated to be responsible for 20-30% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is one where particular urgency is required. Read more

Modulation of fortified foods for older adults

Protein requirements increase with age as protein can help minimise sarcopenia and improve immunity. However protein fortified foods are often poorly accepted by older adults and can lead to numerous negative sensory attributes. Read more

Structure-function relationships governing polyphenol bioactivity with respect to plasma membranes

This project aims to investigate polyphenol binding to lipid membrane surfaces with a view to understanding how polyphenol structure and aggregation within the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) affects the bioavailability of these nutraceuticals. Read more
