FOOD AND NUTRITION BSc (Hons) / FdSc

Food and Nutrition is a major talking point today, with governments working hard to emphasise the importance of nutrition and health, while diet, food-related research and new food product developments and technologies are reported in the media on an almost daily basis. By studying our Food and Nutrition degree, you will gain the scientific knowledge and specialist background in nutrition and the food industry to understand how to flourish in this fast-growing profession. Developed in accordance with guidelines from the Association for Nutrition (AfN) - who maintain the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists (UKVRN) - our Food and Nutrition course allows you to explore food science, technology and product development, as well as develop the skills required to critically evaluate common perceptions of nutrition and health. The course covers a vast range of core competencies in the sector, including science, the food chain, social and behavioural aspects, health and wellbeing and professional conduct.
