hmmmm i dont think so...i not sure, i havent heard anything either so i wouldnt worry. i mean, there must be billions of people (yes billions) whove sent their forms to them so itll prolly take a while for them to get info out, i presume. im just impatient :P hehe.

For the smartcard? You won't hear anything back, yu'll just get given it when you register in fresher week. I don't think they even make them until after results, because they don't know for sure who's coming until then.

glad you asked, food science is basically the study of food (hehe), learn how to make bread, milk peanut butter all on a large scale for industry, the biochemistry of food.. pathogens in food, food safety, what's safe to eat.. how to determine expiry dates, how ot determine nutritional content, why trans fatty acids are bad for health, how to make food look asthetically pleasing to the consumer's eye (product development) how to reduce fat on cookies hehe.. different from a nutritionist. nutritionists are more concerned about how food reacts in the human body, while we are more concerned about different types of carbohydrates, fats, sugars, fibre plants.. meat etc etc..
its food scientists that invent new types of food, (like the research lab in willy wonka's factory that invented the chewing gum that never loses its taste, dinner pills that keep you full for days after swallowing it.. etc etc :smile:

I AM right. I did all this last year remember :wink:
You don't need the smartcard till you actually get there- most people would probably lose it if they sent it beforehand!

Guess who found her envelope and form... I'm going to post it this evening! Lol, so I didn't send it then! It was in a pile of the books I've ordered from the reading list!

Well he left the industry completely about 15 years ago but before that he worked for Dairy Crest and then went free-lance which used to pay loads*!

*but meant travelling around way too much.
