Nutritional Sciences is an academic field of study that examines the relationships between human health and wellbeing and food and lifestyle, using concepts from chemistry, biology and social sciences. Nutritional Sciences aim to understand the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food and the way they are processed by the human organism. Nutritional Sciences study concepts like food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism, and excretion. Food and healthy nutrition play an important role in human wellbeing, so experts in Nutritional Sciences are always in demand. Nutritional Sciences programs’ study content typically includes subjects like Biology, Microbiology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Energy Nutrients in Human Nutrition, Management in Dietetics, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Dietetics, Food Science and Technology and more. Students in Nutritional Sciences are taught how to analyze the nutritional values and properties of foods. Through work placements and practical projects, Nutritional Sciences students develop problem-solving, analytical-thinking and decision-making skills, as well as the ability to advise and create suitable diet plans. Career prospects for Nutritional Sciences graduates include dietician, food scientist, nutritionist, wellness coordinator, nutritional therapist, food technologist, health promoter and others.
