Our human nutrition course aims to provide you with an in-depth understanding of the relationships between diet, disease, and health. You will study four modules and a dissertation. The modules cover a diversity of topics related to human nutrition such as nutritional assessment, public health nutrition, global health and sustainability and nutritional biochemistry. The course is designed to give you the skills to analyse and critically evaluate nutrition and food science theory and practice, so that you can develop a career as a nutritionist in the health and food sectors.
On this one-year course, you’ll have days with a mix of lectures, seminars, and practical sessions.
You’ll also learn about ethics for scientific research, research methodologies and statistical analysis packages, including how to appraise scientific research studies.
For your dissertation, you’ll typically submit a 2,000-word research proposal (ethics protocol) and an 8,000-word dissertation with your research findings written in the form of a research paper.
