Year 13 Food Science Technology (13FST)

This is an academic subject that is UE approved.  Students should have level 2 Food Science and English at Merit or Excellence level. 

 The aim of this Food Science and Technology focused programme is to offer a University Entrance opportunity for students interested in subjects such as health, science, sport, physical education, food technology and dietetics.

Year 13 Food Science and Technology focuses on designing and developing products for a variety of context and briefs. Creating dishes that help solve issues, trialling and testing these dishes and getting continual stakeholder feedback.  The impact of production on our environment is key.

During the year we will be completing the prototyping standard, " Food physiology."  Our focus will be on weird food pairing and food illusions.  Students will be creating and developing a product for their stakeholders based on their needs. They will incorporate either  weird food pairing, food illusions or both into their final product. Once this is complete student will write their external academic report based on their prototyping assessment. 

Our final assessment is about perfecting complex procedures when making a product that is of industry standard.

Students will develop capability in academic writing, food creativity, self management and critical thinking.

Students consume all food from their practical classes. 

Senior classes are limited to 24 students and entry into the class is with HOD approval only.  

There is 1 class at this year level.
