About the course
This extended major takes a scientific approach to nutrition, focusing on the biochemistry underpinning how food and nutrients influence human health. You’ll explore how nutrition can help prevent disease, reduce morbidity and improve wellbeing, with study drawing on laboratory science and health contexts. The major is designed for students seeking strong foundations for science and health pathways within an undergraduate degree in nutrition-related biochemistry. The programme develops clinical skills, patient care fundamentals, and health sciences knowledge for registered practice pathways.
Career outcome
Graduates can pursue roles where nutrition science and biochemistry intersect, supporting evidence-based decisions about food and health. Potential pathways include nutritional consultancy, food technology and product development, and laboratory or research support roles in health, biomedical and food industries. The major can also provide preparation for further study leading to professional careers such as dietetics or broader healthcare and biochemistry-related work at bachelor level.
