Food and Nutrition Science (with Foundation Year)

About this course

Food and nutrition science is the study of the composition of foods, how the body uses nutrients, and how diet relates to health, disease, and the wellbeing of populations. It draws on biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, food technology, and public health to ask questions that range from the molecular processes of digestion to the design of healthier food products and the dietary patterns that underlie the major non-communicable diseases of our time. It is a discipline with direct relevance to some of the most important health challenges the world faces. At Bedfordshire this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year at the start, which provides the scientific grounding in biology, chemistry and mathematics that the main degree requires and makes it accessible to students who may not have studied all three sciences at advanced level.
