Program description
Applied Human Nutrition is a practical, research driven master course. It explains the science behind how humans need to eat from conception to old life.
In all age groups and industries, poor nutrition is contributing to an increase in public health issues. This is particularly evident in young people and the elderly.
In this course, you will look at:
- the specific problems of global nutrition and the implications for public health
- the provision of food and nutrients to the body, facilitating optimum physical and mental development and health maintenance
Our Oxford Centre for Nutrition and Health (OxBCNH) is the first functional food research center in the UK. The Center has strong ties with the food industry.
You will get the chance to collaborate with the Oxford Centre for Nutrition and Health as part of your research project.
You can participate in cutting-edge research that aids in the development of new foods with specific nutritional and health benefits by the food sector and the government.

- Health Promotion as Food and Health Co-ordinators
