If so, why not get in touch with Newcastle University to find out how, alongside the commercial consultancy we offer as a University, our Nutrition Science and Food Business Management & Marketing students can make an impact on your company through research and consultancy projects and enterprise challenges.

“Thought you’d like to know that we’ve had a few excellent Zoom calls with Newcastle University. It looks like we’ll have a couple of very exciting projects next academic year, and we will potentially use them for some commercial work as well.
“Great results all round, and they’re already talking about making it a longer term partnership with some annual dissertation research on business and technical development.
“Great stuff – thanks so much for putting it together. Seems very worthwhile. Endless cross-discipline possibilities.”
