This 4-year undergraduate course in Human Nutrition focuses on core sciences like chemistry and biology in the early years to build knowledge of biological systems and their application to nutrition. After a 10-month professional work experience in the third year, the final year focuses on specific areas of nutrition like clinical, public health, and molecular nutrition. Coursework is outlined for each year of study along with module codes, titles, credit hours, and semester.

7. Reasons
My choice to study
Human Nutrition due to
my interest in science
and health. I’m
particularly curious
about how diet affect
our body and health.
The relationship
between food and
health.
With more and more
people start to focus on
health and nutrition . In the
future there will be more
jobs for students graduate
from nutrition and dietitian.
