Here's what Edge Hill University says about its Nutrition & Health course.
Explore the vital role of nutrition in health promotion and disease prevention. Join us to unravel the fascinating role of food and nutrition. Gain eligibility to apply for Direct Entry as a Registered Associate Nutritionist with the Association for Nutrition.
With obesity and malnutrition rising, the role of nutrition in ensuring we maintain a well-balanced diet and good exercise to keep healthy has never been more critical. Food sustainability is rapidly becoming a pressing issue too. Our nutrition and health degree covers these challenges and so much more.
Accredited by the Association for Nutrition (AfN), our course provides skills to help you succeed in the field of nutritional science. Tailor your studies with optional modules such as Exercise, Diet and Health Promotion, Nutrition and Entrepreneurship, Psychological Approaches to Health and Social Wellbeing, and Therapeutic Approaches to Nutrition.
You’ll get practical, hands-on experience in our excellent Biosciences laboratories and dedicated food skills area. Test how certain foods are made, investigate their physical properties and use microbiology to assess the antimicrobial properties of food. You’ll also get the chance to wear bariatric and geriatric suits to experience mobility restrictions as well as the opportunity to use different types of equipment to measure anything from energy expenditure and heart rate to exercise duration and sleep quality.
Apply everything you’ve learnt with a work placement, and participate in live research projects and a range of professional development activities to stand out to employers.

The SU website is very confusing.

Campus is always clean and tidy, it feels quite safe. The SU club is enjoyable and fun to go on a night out. Ormskirk has a lot to offer in terms of fun and activities.

Accommodation costs are ridiculous, the rooms are very small. I have contacted finance support and they were very rude to me because I had spent my entire student loan. The shop is way too expensive for groceries.

Inclusion helped me when I needed extra support during a difficult time at uni.

The gym is really accessible, it is a good price. The library is very big so you can always get a spot, it is always clean and a nice environment.

It is very interesting. The teachers take time to get to know you and teach you the course content. They give feedback on all essays and you can meet with them to discuss feedback and how to improve.
