This course examines nutrition at all stages of life and problems including obesity, disease- related malnutrition and eating disorders. These arise from several causes and have global impact. UCL is a world leader in research for nutrition and obesity, child health, epidemiology and the psychology of disordered eating. You will gain a thorough grounding in nutrition science and the way it relates to personal diet, lifestyle and modern patterns of disease. You will develop a holistic approach to obesity and malnutrition in the modern world, combining biomedical and societal approaches. The knowledge and skills gained on this programme will enable you to engage with healthcare professionals and nutritional scientists in whatever sphere you choose to work in after graduating. The BSc is a basic science course that integrates nutrition science with anatomy, cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, biochemistry, immunology and infection, neuroscience, pharmacology, physiology and pathology. Students will be expected to read and study before each teaching session; flip teaching will be used. Most teaching sessions will be small-group tutorials. It differs from most nutrition degrees in that in the first year there is a strong foundation in human biology and clinical medicine. Graduates will develop the ability for independent thought and writing, and how to manage study time efficiently whilst working effectively in groups on advanced topics of concern to society at large. We encourage entrepreneurship through modules on supervision, idea protection and marketing.
