Nutrition, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

Our BSc Nutrition with Professional Training course explores the connections between nutrition and health at individual and societal levels. You will examine how diet influences health outcomes, including the risk of diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and dementia, while studying the effects of nutrients on cells, tissues, and organs. The programme also covers how public health recommendations are based on clinical evidence, and you will engage in an integrated study of scientific disciplines related to nutrition and health. This includes conducting research, critically evaluating studies on diet and health, and applying scientific knowledge to meet the needs of consumers, industry, and regulators.The course includes a professional placement before your final year, supported by strong links with prominent providers. It is accredited by the Association for Nutrition and Institute of Food Science and Technology, allowing graduates to become Associate Nutritionists (ANutr) and, with about three years of experience, Registered Nutritionists (RNutr). Core modules, subject to approval, include Nutritional Biochemistry and Physiology, Food and Nutritional Chemistry: A Practical Approach, Introduction to Sustainable Food Manufacturing, Composition and Properties of Foods, and Nutrition in Management and Prevention of Disease.
