Food Science, Nutrition and Wellbeing

About this course

Food science, nutrition, and wellbeing is a degree that sits at the intersection of chemistry, biology, and public health, examining both the science of food as a material system and the relationship between what we eat and how we live. Food science investigates the composition, structure, processing, and safety of food; nutrition examines how nutrients are metabolised and how dietary patterns affect health; and wellbeing brings in the broader psychological, social, and environmental dimensions of how food choices are made and what they mean for quality of life. Together, these strands address questions that are simultaneously scientifically rigorous and of genuine relevance to individual and population health. At Abertay University in Dundee, this four-year full-time programme includes a year abroad, which enriches the degree with an international perspective on food systems, nutrition
