Course Description

Course overview: This course includes a foundation year - ideal if you need additional preparation or if you don't have sufficient grades to join Year 1. Healthy and sustainable nutrition is world changing. Nutrition is the study of the complex relationships between diet, lifestyle and health outcomes in individuals and populations - all vital in the drive to reduce long-term conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Nutrition is a multi-disciplinary science encompassing biochemistry, physiology, food science, and behaviour. You are highly employable in public health, nutrition research and consultancy, and the food industry. Graduates rapidly progress in their careers, with many having key roles in organisations that are household names: one led the local, and now regional response, to food poverty during the coronavirus crisis; two graduates were instrumental in the development of Quorn’s vegan range, work which began when they were still undergraduates.

Nutritionists work for the government, local authorities, and charities involved in health. Some are self-employed, offering good quality nutritional advice to individuals and organisations. Public Health Nutritionists are experts in diet and nutrition, whose work is focussed on understanding issues in population nutrition, and developing effective solutions to improve the health of the population. Sports Nutritionists advise athletes about healthy eating and lifestyle choices to improve fitness and health. The teaching profession is an important destination, especially for Nutrition graduates who want to pass their skills and knowledge onto the next generation.
