About Nutrition, MSc - at University of Leeds

Nutrition is a fast-moving discipline that focuses on understanding the role of diet in maintaining human health and preventing disease. As we move towards a healthier lifestyle globally, understanding nutrition has become paramount, and the demand for qualified specialists in this field is ever-growing.

Our Nutrition MSc course will give you an in-depth understanding of the scientific, social and ethical considerations that inform the nutrition profession, as set by the Association for Nutrition (AfN), the professional voluntary register of nutritionists. Your learning will cover crucial areas in nutrition — from policy and practice to the scientific principles that underpin the relationships between diet, human health and wellbeing.

You'll study in our School of Food Science and Nutrition, which is home to world-leading research that has impacted key areas in food and nutrition and directly informs the course, meaning you'll be learning emerging innovations and issues in nutrition and the food industry. You'll also be taught by a programme team made up of academics and researchers from across the School and have access to specialist facilities that will prepare you for working in this field.

This means that, once you graduate, you'll be fully equipped with topical knowledge and advanced skills sought after by global companies in industry.
