Fulbright/University of Reading Award in Food Security

The Fulbright University of Reading Award in Food Security covers a master's degree in the faculty of Food and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Reading. This award is made possible through generous legacy gifts by Harry and Jean Nursten to the University of Reading and to the US-UK Fulbright Commission. Harry Nursten was a Fulbrighter and a leading food scientist who chaired the University of Reading's Food Science Department for 16 years. An added attraction about this award is that it is paired with the Fulbright Nursten Award in Food Security for a British postgraduate student. As part of their award, both students will be required to collaborate on an initiative to share information and research on food security with the wider public on both sides of the Atlantic. The form this initiative takes will be up to the two students to develop with support from the US-UK Fulbright Commission. The award offers funding for three master's programs: MSc Food Science, MSc Food Technology – Quality Assurance, and MSc Nutrition and Food Science. The University of Reading is a Top 30 UK University with the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences being a global player in food and health research, ranked 5th in The Times Good University Guide for Food Science, 2023.
