With the global population predicted to exceed nine billion people by 2050, we need to find ways to make better use of the resources we have to grow and produce nutritious, healthy foods. Our course builds your knowledge in food, nutrition and physiology to explain the connection between diet and health.
How you will be assessed
We use a range of assessment methods, including exams, essays, verbal presentations and practicals. You will receive a copy of our marking criteria which provides guidance on how we will assess your work. Your work will be marked on time and you will receive regular feedback.
Your final degree classification will be based on marks gained in your second and third years of study.
You must pass each year to progress. This typically means that you will need to achieve marks of at least 40% in each module. Full details on our marking criteria and structure will be provided at your induction.
To study abroad as part of your degree, you must meet minimum academic requirements in year one.
