Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Public Health Nutrition
Program Available at Galway - Dublin Road Campus
This exciting new degree program is the first of its kind in the west of Ireland.
Public Health Nutrition focuses on the promotion of good health through nutrition and the primary prevention of nutrition-related illness in the population.
Public Health Nutritionists develop, implement and evaluate nutrition policies and programs, generating the evidence base and applying scientific knowledge to ensure understanding of the impact of food and diet on health and wellbeing of people and communities, and improving the diet, nutrition, and health of people and communities.
With the increased number of the population suffering from, or at risk of developing lifestyle-related chronic diseases, more individuals require assistance with nutritional management.
As a result, there is an urgent need for suitably qualified individuals to work in the health sectors.
Public health nutrition has been gaining popularity as an area of study to meet this growing demand.
