I am applying for a place on the Food science and technology course at the Cardiff

Metropolitan University because I am very interested in the topics covered


particularly Food Safety Management and Applied Research Methods & Design.
My interest in these areas was first aroused during my undergraduate studies at
Niger Delta University where I studied Fisheries Technology and I chose to do a
final year research topic on The effect of baits on Shrimp Catch. During my
research I sourced documents relating to Food Safety Management and my
interest was further aroused. Your course not only covers the above topics but
will also introduce me to the new areas of Food Quality Management & Quality
Assurance and Food Technology & Biotechnology which will broaden my
knowledge and understanding of the topic as a whole. I achieved a very high
grade for my dissertation and I am keen to build on my interest in research during
the dissertation element of the course. I am expecting to attain a high 2.1 or first
class degree which I hope will demonstrate my academic ability to study at this
level.

I am particularly keen to study at this department in Cardiff Metropolitan


University because of your research interests in Food Safety & Technology and
also your reputation of excellence in this field. The international reputation of the
department attracts such a variety of students and I believe it will be a stimulating
environment in which to study at masters level. Your university also provides
excellent working and recreation facilities for graduate students which
demonstrate your commitment to the graduate student body.
Following the MA course I would like to pursue my interest in research in this field
either through doing a PhD or possibly researching with a government
department or other public sector body.
