... United Kingdom
... Edge Hill University

Course Overview

With obesity and malnutrition rising, the role of nutrition in ensuring we maintain a well-balanced diet and good exercise to keep healthy has never been more critical. Food sustainability is rapidly becoming a pressing issue too. Our nutrition and health degree covers these challenges and so much more.

Accredited by the Association for Nutrition (AfN), our course provides skills to help you succeed in the field of nutritional science. Tailor your studies with optional modules such as Exercise, Diet and Health Promotion, Nutrition and Entrepreneurship, Psychological Approaches to Health and Social Wellbeing, and Therapeutic Approaches to Nutrition.

You’ll get practical, hands-on experience in our excellent Biosciences laboratories and dedicated food skills area. Test how certain foods are made, investigate their physical properties, and use microbiology to assess the antimicrobial properties of food. You’ll also get the chance to wear bariatric and geriatric suits to experience mobility restrictions as well as the opportunity to use different types of equipment to measure anything from energy expenditure and heart rate to exercise duration and sleep quality.

Apply everything you’ve learned with a work placement, and participate in live research projects and a range of professional development activities to stand out to employers.
