Course summary
Through this one-year course, youll develop the skills and knowledge to work as a nutritionist in both the health and food sectors. Youll study the theory behind nutritional sciences, exploring topics from food guidelines to biochemistry to the distribution and control of disease. Youll also have sessions in our laboratories where youll complete practical evaluations. During practical sessions, well help you to understand the assessments you might conduct as a nutritionist. We use patient case studies, so you might complete a nutritional assessment for a patient with Crohns disease or diabetes, or perhaps analyse a persons diet. Many of our students complete public health nutrition-based projects for their dissertations, focusing on areas theyre hoping to develop a career in. Recent topics include exploring the impact of eating patterns during the menopause, health benefits of vegan and vegetarian diets, foodscape and health at population level, and exercise barriers for young women.
Career prospects
From nutrition-related roles within government organisations to working in the media to food industry research and development, theres a variety of career paths you could take as a nutritionist.
You might work in a health setting (such as a clinic) or perhaps set up a consultancy business as a nutritionist or develop your career within research or teaching nutrition.
