About Food And Nutrition With Placement Year Bsc (hons) in Ulster University

Food and nutrition are of fundamental importance in people’s lives, all the more so as the links between nutrition and health become clearer. Today's food industry is increasingly aware of this. Food and nutrition embraces a range of subjects including sciences, business and consumer marketing and consumer behaviour.

Teaching staff on the Food and Nutrition programme include specialists from the School of Biomedical Sciences that cover a range of topics, including chemistry, physiology and biochemistry. In addition, specialists in business and management from the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, and specialists in Chinese language from the School of Modern Languages deliver topics in their areas of expertise.
