Program Description

Our human nutrition degree is designed to provide you with the scientific skills and knowledge to understand how nutrition relates to health and disease.

By the end of our degree in human nutrition, you'll be able to explain the significance of diet and nutrition-related illnesses to others to improve their wellbeing. You'll begin your studies with the fundamentals: an introduction to biochemistry, biology and physiology, chemistry for life science, and the basic principles of nutrition. As the course progresses, you'll be introduced to more specialist and advanced areas, such as clinical, human and public health nutrition.
