More people are getting diseases like cancer, heart disease and diabetes which are influenced by the foods they eat. Learn how to fight against unhealthy food choices and sedentary lifestyles using a scientific approach to nutrition and food science.
Sedentary lifestyles and poor nutrition cause illnesses that have a big impact on both individuals and society. Recent health policies have focused on how important nutrition is for staying healthy as we get older, while also reducing sickness to protect the NHS.
Our BSc (Hons) Nutrition degree is ideal for anyone who wants to make a difference and is interested in the science of food, nutrition, and health. You can choose to focus on either nutrition and health or food science. In your last year, you'll do a project on a topic of your choice.
We work closely with local health groups and sports clubs, so you'll have the chance to learn in real situations that relate to your studies. You can study lots of different topics, so you can match your studies to your job goals.
