FOOD AND NUTRITION FdSc

Nutrition has become a major talking point in modern society. Governments are working to emphasise the importance of diet and fitness, while food-related research and new products 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 that the industry is craving.

Developed in accordance with guidelines from the Association for Nutrition (AfN), our Food and Nutrition course allows you to explore food science as well as the skills required for food preparation. It 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.

Supported by fantastic facilities such as our Food Science and Innovation Suite, you will be able to apply your knowledge in practical and relevant ways to areas such as nutrition, public health, food science, manufacturing and politics. In addition, you will have the chance to take on a number of placements to enhance your employability, while you will also go on residential visits to boost your industry engagement before you graduate.
