Nutrition

Nutrition is a growing field with roles in industry and public sector – public health, NHS, clinical research, food legislation and product development. Our nutrition courses are accredited by the Association for Nutrition (AfN).

Our courses

Our facilities

Our modern nutrition kitchen is a dedicated space that has been designed to the latest specifications. It is a flexible and inviting teaching space which we use for food science practicals, research projects and student nutrition society events along with small group teaching (e.g. assignment and revision tutorials) and personal tutor meetings.

Our exercise physiology laboratory has sophisticated equipment that allows us to measure the physiological responses to exercise, such as: oxygen consumption, fat oxidation, heart rate, blood pressure and haematological responses, along with facilities to assess these in alternate environmental conditions through use of our altitude and heat chambers.

We have a number of ergometers (e.g. treadmill, cycle, rowing kayak) for analysing sports-specific performance.
