Nutrition is recognised as a cornerstone in the maintenance of health, wellbeing, and longevity with the power to reduce the economic and social burden on health systems. The BSc (Hons) Nutrition and Human Health degree program will take you on an exciting journey to become a competent nutritionist.While studying for the degree, you will examine various aspects of the science of nutrition including biochemistry, metabolism, food systems, food composition, dietary analysis, molecular aspects of food nutrients, social/behavioural aspects, health and wellbeing, and professional conduct, leading to a full understanding of the dietary role in disease prevention and health management. Through this journey, you will be trained to identify signs and risks of under-, and overnutrition whether and how to assess the energy and nutritional status overall. Other interesting and contemporary areas are nutrition across lifespan, integrative and adaptive metabolic aspects, nutritional research methodologies, functional ingredients and bioactives, probiotics, prebiotics, gut microbiota, food intolerances, functional bowel disorders, and nutrition in mental health. The relevance of these areas of knowledge to human health is the focal point of this degree.This combination of subjects gives you the breadth and depth of knowledge to undertake physiological and anthropometric assessments, carry out laboratory analysis of nutrients and offer evidence-based professional advice on diet and lifestyle. As a graduate of this degree, you will be equipped with knowledge for the workplace and follow a career as a nutritionist, researcher, or educator. The broad and robust scientific skills, communication skills, and creative thinking developed on the programme will make you particularly attractive to companies and organisations searching for scientists capable of dealing with data in epidemiological fields.
