OVERVIEW

Through this one-year course, you鈥檒l develop the skills and knowledge to work as a nutritionist in both the health and food sectors.

You鈥檒l study the theory behind nutritional sciences, exploring topics from food guidelines to biochemistry to the distribution and control of disease. You鈥檒l also have sessions in our laboratories where you鈥檒l complete practical evaluations.

During practical sessions, we鈥檒l help you to understand the assessments you might conduct as a nutritionist. We use patient case studies, so you might complete a nutritional assessment for a patient with Crohn鈥檚 disease or diabetes, or perhaps analyse a person鈥檚 diet.

Many of our students complete public health nutrition-based projects for their dissertations, focusing on areas they鈥檙e hoping to develop a career in. Recent topics include exploring the impact of eating patterns during the menopause, health benefits of vegan and vegetarian diets, foodscape and health at population level, and exercise barriers for young women.
