Friend or foe - some microbes tend to have a bad name with food poisoning incidents and others can be a nuisance by spoiling our food. However, without the activities of microbes there would no bread, cheese, beer or chocolate!

With a focus on the GCSE Applied Science specification, spend some laboratory time with our Food Microbiologists growing your own microbes and perfecting your aseptic techniques. You’ll learn about autoclaving, inoculating & incubating and discover why food microbes are always on the menu!
