    In Depth

    What will I study?

    In Year 1 you will develop key professional and academic skills and build your knowledge of the function and application of research in applied health and social care. As well as being introduced to issues relating to nutrition, lifestyle and dietary habits within the social contexts of regions, societies and cultures, you will also address the psychological aspects of behaviour in relation to holistic wellbeing associated with nutritional knowledge. Nutrition is closely linked to anatomy and physiology with interactive laboratory sessions to enhance your understanding of how the metabolism of nutrients interact with the human body to prevent disease.

    Year 2 will introduce you to a variety of social science and dietary research methods, alongside the metabolism of nutrients and an exploration of how disease and illness can be prevented. There will be the opportunity to study food sciences, which is a key area within the field of nutrition today. You will also study the nutritional requirements fundamental to each stage of human growth and development throughout the lifespan.  Research plays an important part within this year, and leads into the third year dissertation module. A further optional module will be chosen, providing you with the opportunity to shape your degree to your individual interests and career aspirations.

    In Year 3 you will cover food and nutrition topics that are relevant and timely to the nation’s health and wellbeing, for example, the wider determinants of overweight and obesity, personalised nutrition, and nutrition within institutions and therapeutic approaches to nutrition. Public health will play a prominent part within your third year, reflecting the importance of its role in educating society with regard to nutrition and health. You will also complete a dissertation module on a subject of your choice. Employability is a key factor throughout the three years of your programme and this will culminate with a personal career development module, which includes a mandatory placement, within an area of your choosing.

    How will I study?

    Learning will be facilitated by discussion, groupwork, tutorials, lab-work, workplace experience and some online provision as well as taught classroom sessions.

    Weekly laboratory classes in Year 1 are designed to support practical teaching in nutrition and equip you with the knowledge and skills to work safely and effectively in a laboratory environment. You will carry out a wide range of laboratory techniques including titrations to measure the vitamin content of food and microbiology techniques to assess the antimicrobial properties of food. You will also gain experience utilising equipment such as bomb calorimeters to measure the energy content of food.

    In the final year of the programme you will undertake a compulsory module (Personal Career Development) based around a workplace setting which will enhance your learning experience and your future employability opportunities.

    How will I be assessed?

    Assessment methods are varied and include a combination of essay presentations, examinations and coursework.

    Who will be teaching me?

    The degree is managed by a programme leader with each module having an individual module coordinator. You will also be assigned a personal tutor from the outset to support your learning experience.

    Academic staff from the Faculty of Health and Social Care, who are specialists in the fields of health, biology, nutrition and psychology, will be teaching this degree. Some staff are actively engaged in nutrition related health research and consultancy in the UK and will use this expertise to support and enhance your learning experience.

    A Great Study Environment

    A student is observed by three of her peers as she dissects meat in a biosciences laboratory.The Faculty of Health, Social Care and Medicine is one of the leading providers of education and training for health and social care professionals in the North West of England.

    Offering some of the best facilities for health, social care and medicine students in the country, the outstanding teaching and learning resources include leading edge clinical skills facilities, an 860-seat lecture theatre, and a variety of teaching rooms and social learning spaces.

    A professional food science laboratory and kitchen space enables Nutrition students to undertake a variety of practical work with foods in a purpose-built environment.

    This dedicated space and the University’s modern Biosciences laboratories are used to test how certain foods are manufactured and produced, investigate the physical properties of food, and conduct sensory evaluations. You will also have opportunities to participate in enterprise initiatives and research activity using the Nutrition facilities.

    Learning resources for Nutrition students include sphygmomanometers for measuring resting blood pressure to indicate cardio vascular risk, bariatric and geriatric suits to experience physical and mobility restrictions, wrist-based global positioning systems (garmin devices) that measure exercise duration, energy expenditure and heart rate, and actigraphs which estimate exercise intensity and track sleep quality and duration.

    The faculty is home to a thriving research culture which includes a series of staff and student conference programmes, guest lectures and seminars, as well as active research groups.
