Nutrition (with Foundation Year)

This route adds a foundation year before the nutrition degree, giving learners time to build the study and science skills needed for the full course. It suits people who want a supported start before entering a science degree that looks closely at diet and health. In the degree stage you study biochemistry, physiology, food science and behaviour, using laboratory work and research to explore how diet influences health. Teaching combines lectures, practical sessions and independent study, with assessment through reports, essays and projects that develop your analytical and communication skills. Graduates are prepared for careers in public health, nutrition research, consultancy and the food industry. The pathway offers the same professional outcomes as the direct-entry degree, with the foundation year providing an additional route into a demanding scientific subject.
