MSc by Research in Simulation and Theoretical Modelling of Food Systems

University of Leeds

An MSc or MA by Research is a more independent level of study where you’re assessed and awarded based on your research activity. Studying for an MA or MSc by Research can be an excellent and challenging opportunity to develop your intellectual skills and your academic interest in a particular field. The Masters by Research is a 12 month research project (24 months part-time). It is distinct from our taught Masters programmes and involves planning, implementing and writing up a research project. You will be supervised by two members of academic staff and will be encouraged to submit your work for publication at the end of the course.Our modelling research covers theoretical and simulation methods spanning a uniquely broad and diverse range of topics within food science. Our expertise encompasses almost every aspect of food systems, including- Atomistic behaviour of food molecules; Mesoscopic and colloidal length scale structures; Macroscopic simulations and mathematical analysis of food process operations; Modelling the global large scale impact of food on sustainability, the spread of disease, and health and the environment.
