Dietetics

About this course

Dietetics is an applied science concerned with how food and nutrition affect human health. Dietitians work at the evidence base of nutrition, translating research findings into practical guidance for individuals and communities, and they do so across a wide range of settings from hospitals and clinics to public health campaigns and food industry consultancy. The discipline draws on physiology, biochemistry, and behavioural science to understand not just what people eat but why, and what the consequences of different dietary patterns are for health across a lifetime.

You will examine the global food system, investigating how food is produced, distributed, and consumed, and explore how diet
