    Course overview

    Turn your passion for food, nutrition and health into a career. Learn how food impacts on our wellbeing and health and explore the links between nutrition and public health. Gain an in-depth understanding of the relationship between food, diet and nutrition. 

    You’ll be educated by research-led academics, gaining hands-on experience to help you discover:

    • The nutritional function of foods

    • How nutrients work in the body and how they impact our health

    • The link between nutrition and public health

    • How to develop strategies to improve food habits

    • How to adjust diet to different clinical conditions

    • What drives consumer eating habits and behaviours.

    You’ll blend academic and practical learning in our £3.5m state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. A work placement in the third year gives you real-life work experience and great networking opportunities for the future.

    This course is accredited by the Association for Nutrition (AfN), the professional body for Registered Nutritionists and aligned with the General Teaching Council (GTC) requirements for the PG Diploma in Home Economics teaching, if that’s your plan after graduation. It is ideal for secondary school leavers, entrants from further education colleges, and mature students.

    Abertay is the top university in Scotland for Food Science and Nutrition degrees according to the 2023 Guardian University Guide. Also this course scored an incredible 96% for Overall Student Satisfaction in the 2022 National Student Survey (NSS).

    For the first two years, everyone takes Food Science, Nutrition and Wellbeing as a foundation. After that, you’ll specialise and take this course in years three and four. Find out more in the ‘How The Course Works’ section below.
