Public Health Nutrition MSc

What we eat shapes not only our health, but the future of our world. Do we slash saturated fats to rescue our hearts? Is the addition of folic acid to foods the key to better maternal health? Can we enjoy the foods we love and fight climate change? These are the kinds of real-world problems you’ll tackle on our MSc in Public Health Nutrition.

Here, science meets purpose. You’ll develop advanced knowledge and hands-on skills to address the nutritional challenges of the 21st century, from tackling diet-related diseases to creating more sustainable food systems. With access to our professional food science laboratory and specialist kitchen, you’ll turn theory into practice and innovation into impact.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the course offers both full-time and part-time study options, so you can fit your learning around your life and career.

As a graduate, not only will you understand global nutrition, you’ll define it. Whether you’re shaping policy, leading research, or catalysing change across communities worldwide, you’ll be poised to have a tangible influence on how the world eats, lives, and thrives.
