I am delighted to share with you that ATU Galway City (Formally GMIT) has the first taught Master's Programme available in Ireland in Nutrition and Sensory Science. Nutrition and Sensory Science graduates are highly sought after in the industry in Ireland and abroad with an abundance of careers advertised. 

The programme is designed to provide participants working in Food Science, Nutritional Science, Sensory Science, and Culinary Arts professions with in-depth knowledge and skills in the area of Nutrition and Sensory Science. It is suitable for culinary professionals with experience and a specific interest in the sensory science and nutritional aspects of food (prior level 8 academic qualifications are required but work experience may also be taken into consideration)

The course is based on the latest scientific research and covers:

• Principles of Food and Nutritional Science
• Consumer and Trained Panel Sensory Science
• Statistics for Sensory Science
• Research Methods
• Sensory Techniques for Nutrition Research

Food Packaging and Marketing for Product Development Participants will also complete two Applied Research Projects where they will work with established members of the food industry or start-up companies on new and innovative projects. The programme is delivered via blended learning and has been designed to suit those that are already in the workplace as it can be completed on a part-time basis.
