FOOD & NUTRITIONAL SCIENCES
Knowledge of food and nutritional science is becoming ever more vital, particularly given the increasing awareness of food's role in important issues such as health, disease and environmental sustainability. Consequently, individuals with expertise in these areas will play a key role in a diverse and wide range of professions, such as developing the safe, sustainable, and healthy foods of the future, creating public health nutrition strategies, and designing and implementing evidence-based nutritional guidelines. Our Food & Nutritional Sciences degree is focused on developing a set of practical, professional, and intellectual skills which are needed to develop a successful career in various roles across the commercial food sector and public health, as well as preparation for further study, working as a nutritionist, or pursuing a professional career in dietetics.
The course curriculum is broad yet deep and draws from the food, nutrition, and health sciences, as well as the social and behavioural sciences. There is also emphasis on elements including food product development and the food supply chain, health and wellbeing, sustainability, and the development of professional skills. You will be taught in our state-of-the-art Health Sciences building, which features specialist laboratories and equipment dedicated to the study of food, nutrition, and health. Those who decide to study for the Single Hons course will also be eligible for direct registration as a Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr) with the Association for Nutrition (AfN).
You will learn from a highly committed team of research-active UK Registered Nutritionists (supported with additional expertise in food science and technology, the biological sciences, and public health). Our staff have a wide range of practical experience and are incredibly enthusiastic about both the academic subject and the quality of your student experience.
