Nutrition is a fast-moving discipline that focuses on understanding the role of foods, nutrients and the overall “diet” in maintaining health and preventing disease. Nutritionists play an important role in providing and implementing evidence-based nutritional guidelines and dietary recommendations meaning the scope of career options for Registered Nutritionists is wide-ranging.
On this integrated Masters nutrition degree (MSci, BSc), you’ll gain a solid understanding of human nutrition and nutrition science, exploring the science underpinning the relationships between diet and health. You'll cover the nutritional content in food, the role of individual factors and the food environment in shaping food choice and dietary behaviours whilst studying the most up-to-date nutrition and dietary recommendations and defining what’s considered “healthy” and for who.
You'll also learn about the scientific, social, behavioural and ethical considerations that inform current public health nutrition advice and the nutrition profession, all within the context of current issues such as the global obesity problem, personalised nutrition, plant-based diets and sustainability.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn a combination of core nutrition topics, alongside gaining knowledge in other specialised areas within the wider food and nutritional field like food systems, sustainable food consumption, enterprise and leadership. These, along with the skills development modules, will give you the technical skills and professional experience you’ll need to pursue a career in nutrition.
Being accredited by the Association for Nutrition, this course gives you the platform to become a Registered Nutritionist – a status many employers in industry require and prioritise now, enhancing your chances of securing the career you want.
