You’ll develop and reflect on the professional skills you’ll need to work in the nutrition sector.<br/><br/>**How you learn**<br/><br/>All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.<br/><br/>Our award-winning teachers have experience working in public health, sports and exercise nutrition, and food consumption behaviours. They’re actively involved in applied and impactful research – you’ll get to understand the latest trends in human nutrition and health and apply your knowledge to live projects in collaboration with external partners.<br/><br/>In each year of study you’ll have the opportunity to engage with live projects and professional work opportunities. You can apply to access placements, volunteering opportunities and work experience through our relationships with external partners – such as schools, councils, sport clubs and food manufacturers.<br/><br/>Youll learn through:<br/><br/><br/>- lectures, seminars and workshops<br/><br/><br/>- practical sessions in our food science and nutrition labs, development kitchens and sensory suite<br/><br/><br/>- webinars and competitions <br/><br/><br/>- live projects with schools, voluntary sector organisations and food businesses<br/><br/><br/>- independent study and group work <br/><br/><br/>You’ll develop an in-depth knowledge of food composition and ingredients.

With these skills you’ll develop into a career-ready and well-rounded nutrition professional.<br/><br/>**Applied learning - Work placements**<br/>You’ll have the opportunity to undertake a year-long work placement in between your second and third years.
