This programme is designed to deliver a self-directed route to postgraduate study in the fields of Nutrition, Food and Health. The PGCert in Nutrition consists of core modules which develop the key ideas in modern nutrition and the application of these in the context of public health. The PG Diploma and MSc build on the nutrition modules to develop understanding of the importance of food and its impact on health. Optional modules enable the participant to select a route suited to their own interests whether clinical, public health or food safety orientated. The dissertation, supported by modules in IT, statistics and research methods, allows the participant to develop a research project within their own area of work. There are a variety of assessment methods including case studies, essays, presentations and examinations, enabling students to demonstrate their learning.
