About Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Nutrition and Health (with Foundation Year)

By studying a BSc Nutrition and Health at the University of Roehampton,, students will improve human health and wellbeing and gain insight into the science behind what people eat.

This course is offered as a degree with foundation year -  a four-year programme which provides an additional foundation year at the beginning of the degree, that will give students academic and practical experience, as well as the skills they need to ensure they are equipped to successfully complete their chosen degree.

During the foundation year:

  • Students will complete core modules in English and Mathematics, as well as an extended project which will develop their skills in carrying out research, using scholarly sources, drawing comparisons between their own research and that of others and documenting their findings.
  • Students will study two modules in Life Sciences which will give them the opportunity to explore methods of scientific thinking and reasoning in an enquiry-based way.
  • Students will also be introduced to key concepts in human physiology that are common cornerstones of the different degree programmes.
  • There is also a Disciplinary Investigation module where students will demonstrate the ability to utilise the academic and subject-specific toolkit acquired through previous modules to manage their own learning, and in partnership with their tutors, negotiate, plan and carry out an investigation into the chosen topic.

This degree is accredited by the Association for Nutrition, so when students graduate, they can become a Registered Associate Nutritionist and help others lead healthy lives.  

Students will gain the skills to tackle topical issues and understand the effects of food and nutrition on health – an area of increasing public and clinical interest.  

Students will be supported in a welcoming and diverse community of staff and students, on a beautiful parkland campus. Students will have access to the University of Roehampton's state-of-the art facilities and excellent laboratories, including the food lab, with sensory analysis tasting booths, and specialist laboratories for physiology, microbiology and computing.  

The University of Roehampton offers innovative modules such as Advances in Nutrition and Health, where students will explore recent developments and innovations in the field of nutrition, including the role of ‘omics’ technology, interactions between diet, genes and disease, and the role of various nutrients. Other interesting modules include Nutrition of Population Groups, which explores how different stages of life can determine nutritional status and requirements, and Food Science, where students will gain insight into the science behind food production, quality and safety.  

Students will explore the principles of human nutrition, vitamins and minerals, physiology and metabolism, as well as aspects of psychology that can influence food intake. Students will advance their specialist knowledge and learn to identify strategies that could improve the diet and health of the nation. In the third year, students will also conduct their own research project in an area of nutrition of their choice, under the guidance of the expert tutors.  

Students also have the option of undertaking a one-year paid work placement between years 2 and three, giving students the perfect opportunity to gain valuable work experience and skills within an industry or sector of choice.
