Obesity and Weight Management MSc

Overweight and obesity have been associated with physiological and psychological ill health and a number of links have been demonstrated for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cancers, polycystic ovary syndrome and depression to name but a few. During the 2020 Covid-19 crisis there have also been emerging links between obesity and the risk and severity of the infection. Personal costs of overweight and obesity, but also costs to the health and wider economy are substantial and growing on an annual basis.

This course provides advanced-level education, continuous professional development and training for those already holding or seeking roles in obesity prevention, weight management, health promotion and related areas. Topics covered in the programme include latest developments in public health, diet, exercise, psychology, and research methods. We also include a number of practical and problem-based sessions to give students hands-on experience in assessing body composition (anthropometrics), dietary intake and physical activity, devising and analysing meal plans and delivering consultations.
