BSc (Hons) Human Nutrition

Health Sciences University

The BSc (Hons) Human Nutrition course is designed to develop graduates with a scientific understanding of nutrition and its impact on human health, alongside the research and data skills needed to evaluate evidence and communicate findings clearly. You will explore how diet influences health, growth and development across the lifespan, and examine how nutrition contributes to improving community health and addressing inequalities through evidence-based practice.

A key foundation of the curriculum is person-centred practice, placing individuals and communities at the heart of decision-making and service design. Interprofessional education is embedded to prepare you to work effectively in multi-professional environments, with equality, diversity and inclusion integrated throughout.

You will also develop practical and analytical skills relevant to real-world applications of nutrition science, including experience in evaluation and assessment, supporting graduate readiness for a dynamic and evolving field.
