Course summary

It is becoming increasingly apparent that nutrition plays a key role in both health and disease. This course aims to develop an understanding of the principles of nutrition and enables students to scientifically evaluate the links between diet, health and disease. Why study this course with us? As the MSc in Human Nutrition is accredited by the Association for Nutrition (AfN), graduates of this course are entitled to direct entry to the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists (UKVRN). This allows graduates to use the letters ‘ANutr’ after their name. The course will appeal to professionals within the food and nutrition industries as well as health professionals. Our course will also be attractive to undergraduates with non-nutrition degrees who wish to move into the field of nutrition and those with nutrition-related degrees wishing further their studies to gain a postgraduate qualification.

Assessment method

The course is assessed using a variety of assessment methods, including written examinations, essays, oral presentations and case studies. After completing six taught modules, you will commence the Research Project.


Entry requirements

A minimum 2:2 honours degree or equivalent, in a biological/health science including components of biochemistry, is required. On application, students should provide a degree transcript and details of modules with biochemistry content (e.g. module/unit descriptors). Applications may be considered from applicants with degrees that don’t fall into the above categories, e.g. chemistry, sports science etc., providing the applicant has a minimum 2:1 honours degree and recent A Levels in biology and/or chemistry (grade A-C). International: Students from countries outside the UK are expected to have entry qualifications roughly equivalent to UK A Level for undergraduate study and British Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) for postgraduate study. To help you to interpret these equivalents, please click on your country of residence to see the corresponding entry qualifications, along with information about your local representatives, events, information and contacts.
