This extended degree in Human Nutrition includes a foundation year (Year 0), which provides an alternative route to higher education if you don’t have the traditional qualifications. You’ll go on to gain an excellent grounding in scientific and applied nutrition, preparing you for a career in public health. Your foundation year will provide you with the fundamental knowledge of biology and chemistry required to begin more specialised studies. This year will also help you gain a better understanding of what academic study involves.
Throughout the four-year extended degree, you’ll study all aspects of public health, including the socio-cultural aspects, nutritional science and political and global issues. This broadened perspective is designed to prepare you for a career in nutrition in either the public or private sector. Some teaching takes place in our £30 million Science Centre, where you’ll get hands-on experience in food technology laboratories. This is complemented by an optional work placement module, which helps you get real-world experience.
Assessment consists of progress tests, online tests, coursework, practical reports and presentations.
This course qualifies you for admission to the Register of Associate Public Health Nutritionists, on successful completion.
In addition to the University's standard entry requirements, you should have:
Other applicants may have level 3 qualifications such as A level, BTEC Extended Diploma or Access to Higher education qualifications with high UCAS points and grades, but not in the relevant subject areas eg Biology and Chemistry, which are required to study for BSc programmes in the School of Human Sciences.
