Overview

Explore the chemistry of food and its effects on health and qualify as a registered nutritionist with BSc Nutrition and Food Science. The BSc Nutrition and Food Science course will help students to understand the processes of food production and how these can be amended to create healthier products. It combines training in the science of nutrition with areas of food science and consumer studies. During the first year students will study the fundamentals of human nutrition, food chemistry, food microbiology, cell biology, genetics, human physiology, and psychology. They will then be able to build upon this knowledge by exploring areas such as public health nutrition, food choice and regulation, and the development of new products. Gain experience of using key technical skills through sensory evaluation, laboratory-based practicals and work in the pilot-scale food processing plant. During the final year students will carry out an original project as part of one of Reading's existing research groups, enabling them to work alongside world authorities in areas such as food and human health. Between the second and final year students will spend a year on a paid industrial training placement. In recent years, students have taken on a variety of roles, including quality assurance, consumer work, food technologists and product development scientists.
