Across your three years, you’ll explore the principles of human nutrition, vitamins and minerals, physiology and metabolism, as well as aspects of psychology that can influence food intake. You’ll advance your specialist knowledge and learn to identify strategies that could improve the diet and health of the nation. In your third year, you’ll also conduct your own research project in an area of nutrition of your choice, under the guidance of our expert tutors.
