Overview

Through studying Nutrition and Food Science, student's will learn about the nutritional requirements and current dietary recommendations for each stage in the life cycle. They will also investigate current research on diet, lifestyle and health. Their studies will enable them to explore food safety and quality including how to secure a safe food supply from a primary producer to the consumer.

Throughout the course, students will explore the fundamental aspects of nutrition, including macronutrients, micronutrients, dietary guidelines, and the physiological processes involved in digestion, absorption, and metabolism. They will also study the principles of food science, such as food composition, food processing techniques, food safety, and the impact of food on sensory perception and consumer behaviour.
