Course description

This is an elective course offering for students to learn about the foundations of nutrition and to explore key contemporary topics relating to the science of nutrition. Students will work in groups to gain the ability to scrutinise the validity of nutrition claims and dietary advertising, and gain the confidence to analyse/evaluate these claims. Students will also learn about the science of behaviour change and have an assessment focussed on how to implement this in their own lives with a focus on sustainable food.
