Accreditation(s)

This course is accredited by the Association for Nutrition

Overview

Our Nutrition degree examines issues such as:

healthy eating

eating disorders

politics of food and food production

food poisoning

organic foods

the use of food additives.

Regular nutrition seminars keep you up to date in the latest developments. And the Nutrition Society, our student-led group, organises relevant guest speakers and activities.

We are home to the Oxford Brookes Centre for Nutrition and Health (OxBCNH) which was set up to research the role of foods in preventing chronic disease. This allows our researchers and PhD students to inform our undergraduate teaching and provides our students with a strong research ethos.

As more nutrition-related issues feature in the media, government initiatives stress the importance of improving our diet and fitness levels. This creates job opportunities for graduates who understand the science and other issues around food. Our strong links with local and international food and nutrition organisations provide potential work experience and career opportunities.

Wherever possible we make our conditional offers using the UCAS Tariff. The combination of A-level grades listed here would be just one way of achieving the UCAS Tariff points for this course.

Entry requirements

Specific entry requirements

A Level: Including one A Level or a comparable Level 3 qualification in a science subject (e.g. Physical Education, Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics, Psychology). Food Technology will be accepted in lieu of a science subject.

GCSE: Grade 4 (C) in English, Maths and two Science (e.g. Double Science or Biology and Chemistry). Level 2 Functional Skills in English and Maths are accepted as alternatives to GCSEs.

If you do not have a background in science, we encourage you to consider our Life Sciences foundation year taught at Abingdon and Witney College.

English language requirements

An IELTS score of 6.5 overall with a minimum of 6.0 in each component.

International qualifications and equivalences

English requirements for visas

Pathways courses for international and EU students

If you do not meet the entry requirements for this degree, or if you would like more preparation before you start, you can take an international foundation course. Once you enrol, you will have a guaranteed pathway to this degree if you pass your foundation course with the required grades.

If you only need to meet the language requirements, you can take our pre-sessional English course. You will develop key language and study skills for academic success and you will not need to take an external language test to progress to your degree.

Terms and Conditions of Enrolment

Please note tuition fees for Home students may increase in subsequent years both for new and continuing students in line with an inflationary amount determined by government. Tuition fees for International students may increase in subsequent years both for new and continuing students.

Oxford Brookes University intends to maintain its fees for new and returning Home students at the maximum permitted level.

Additional costs

Please be aware that some courses will involve some additional costs that are not covered by your fees. Specific additional costs for this course, if any, are detailed below.

You will need to buy basic personal protection equipment for laboratory practicals (lab coat), at a cost of around £20.

The published course and module descriptions were accurate when first published and remain the basis of the course, but the University has had to modify some course and module content in response to government restrictions and social distancing requirements. In the event of changes made to the government advice and social distancing rules by national or local government, the University may need to make further alterations to the published course content. Detailed information on the changes will be sent to every student on confirmation in August to ensure you have all the information before you come to Oxford Brookes.

Learning and assessment

This course has been developed around the Association for Nutrition competencies, and covers:

science

the food chain

social/behaviour

health/wellbeing

professional conduct

This course is divided into two stages:

Stage 1 (the first year, for a full-time student)
Stage 1 enables you to gain the level of knowledge, understanding and skills to progress to Stage 2.

Stage 2 (the second and third years)
This is the advanced part of the degree. In the third year you will have the opportunity to carry out a nutrition-related project. This gives you the opportunity to work with staff on current research developments.

In each full-time year, you need to pass eight modules. To graduate with an honours degree you will need to pass 24 modules over the three years.

If you are a part-time student you will take 1 - 3 modules each semester, and a maximum of 5 a year.

Study modules

Please note: As our courses are reviewed regularly as part of our quality assurance framework, the modules you can choose from may vary from that shown here. The structure of the course may also mean some modules are not available to you.

We use a variety of teaching and learning methods including:

lectures

seminars

workshops

small group assignments

simulations

independent study.

Each year includes a professional practice module. This enables you to build on your skills and equip you for working in the area of nutrition.

Our staff are active in nutrition and food science research. This informs and enhances our teaching.

Most modules include a strong practical element. You will have access to specialised laboratories and equipment in biochemistry, physiology and nutrition.

Your work will be assessed with a mix of coursework and some examinations.

Coursework can include:

practical reports

essays

seminar presentations

class tests

reflective video diaries

numerical problems.

You may be able to go on a European or international study exchange while you are at Brookes. Most exchanges take place in the second year. Although we will help as much as we can with your plans, ultimately you are responsible for organising and funding this study abroad.

Career prospects

Some of our graduates pursue careers as nutritionists in hospital laboratories, health education, international aid and local authorities. Others go into product development in the food industry. You may also opt for teaching, research or further specialised training, in dietetics for example. The variety of opportunities is illustrated by the careers of four recent graduates: a dietician at a London hospital, an aid worker for Médecins Sans Frontières, a product developer at an alcopops manufacturer, and a nutritionist working for Jamie Oliver.

Free language courses are available to full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students on many of our courses, and can be taken as a credit on some courses.
