Level 3 Diploma in Food Science and Nutrition

Taught in: Year 12 - 13
Exam Board: WJEC


​This Level 3 Diploma course by WJEC leads smoothly from the GCSE with AQA in food preparation and nutrition.

The course is designed to give students a practical understanding of food science, food safety, nutrition and food production. Students will study these areas through a range of units, some of which are mandatory and other units which allow students choice in what area they would like to specialise in depending on their own interests. Food safety, hygiene and nutritional needs are essential elements of
the course, with students building on prior knowledge from KS4 in order to use understanding in a broader range of contexts. Students use ongoing practical work to demonstrate this developing knowledge and understanding to produce high quality food items, and students will develop portfolio work in order to look at the wider contexts of food production and nutrition. Students will also study
both industrial connections along with social, environmental and personal implications of their understanding of food science, nutrition  and safety.

The course is split between 50% NEA’s (Non Examination Assessment) and 50% timed assessment (examination)

Students will gain the required knowledge to be able to use the qualification to support entry to higher education courses such as:
  • BSc (Hons) Human Nutrition
  • BSc (Hons) Public Health Nutrition
  • BSc (Hons) Food Science and Technology
  • An understanding of food science and nutrition is relevant to many industries and job roles.      Such as, care providers, sports coaches, fitness instructors, hotels and restaurants
