Placement is a key feature of all of Loughry’s food programmes including the National Diplomas in Food Technology and Food Nutrition and Health. These two year courses are a practical alternative to A levels. When on placement students apply the knowledge from their time in Loughry’s classrooms, laboratories and food processing facilities whilst honing the skills that will help them become managers in the future.

Loughry offers a range of post GCSE and post A-level courses from the National Diplomas, through to foundation and honours degrees - ideal for anyone interested in a tasty career in the food industry.
