Nutrition (BSc) University of Leeds

Our Nutrition BSc degree develops your knowledge and understanding of human nutrition and the science underpinning the relationship between diet and health.

The course also allows you to develop the applied and professional skills you will need to work in nutrition-related fields, including as an Associate Registered Nutritionist (Association for Nutrition).

Nutrition is a fast-moving discipline that focuses on understanding the role of foods, nutrients and the overall "diet" in maintaining health and preventing disease. Nutritionists play an important role in providing and implementing evidence-based nutritional guidelines and dietary recommendations.

Registered Nutritionists work in the food industry, scientific research, and health settings. Your University of Leeds BSc Nutrition degree enables you to develop a solid understanding of the importance of human nutrition and nutrition science. While exploring food content and food choices, you'll also learn about the most up-to-date nutrition and dietary recommendations and what is considered "healthy" and for who. You will also learn about the scientific, social and ethical considerations that inform health advice and the nutrition profession, all within the context of current issues, such as the global obesity problem, plant-based diets, and sustainability.
