Nutrition is a major talking point today, with governments working hard to emphasise the importance of nutrition and health, while diet, food-related research and new food products are reported in the media on an almost daily basis. By studying our Food and Nutrition degree, you will gain the scientific knowledge and specialist background in nutrition to understand how to flourish in this fast-growing profession.
Developed in accordance with guidelines from the Association for Nutrition (AfN) - who maintain the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists (UKVRN) - our Food and Nutrition course allows you to explore food science as well as the skills required to critically evaluate common perceptions of nutrition and health. The course covers a vast range of core competencies in the sector including science, the food chain, social and behavioural aspects, health and wellbeing and professional conduct.
Supported by fantastic facilities such as our Food Science and Innovation Suite and our Human Performance Centre, you will be able to apply your knowledge in practical and relevant ways to areas such as nutrition, public health, food science, manufacturing and psychology. In addition, you will have opportunities for work experience to enhance your employability, while you will also go on residential visits to boost your industry engagement before you graduate.
