BSc (Hons) Nutrition

The theoretical foundations of this three-year programme are laid down in lectures and seminars. Practical workshops will allow you to gain experience in analysing diets using specialist software. Some hands-on work will be undertaken in our kitchens and biochemistry laboratory.

You will translate your learning into practical guidance to enable individuals and population groups to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices. Alongside the scientific topics of biochemistry and human physiology you will also study communication skills, research methods and ethics. You will have the option to study modules in global health and malnutrition and will share some modules, such as public health and scientific research in food, health and disease, with Dietetics students.

As part of our growing portfolio of health-related programmes, you will benefit from strong relationships with those teaching and studying nursing, health and wellbeing, physiotherapy and sports-related degrees. This will afford you the opportunity to work alongside other health professionals, such as dietitians, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, sport therapists and sport scientists. To gain further first-hand professional insights, you can take a relevant work placement.
