Course programme
Food and Nutrition, in the Department of Biology and Food, School of Science and the Environment at Bath Spa University (BSU) can date its origins back to 1892. We were one of the first institutions to offer the BSc degree in home economics.
We continue to build on these foundations and deliver research and scholarship informed food and nutrition programmes in a student centred environment, evidenced by nearly a 90% rise in FS FTEs over the last 5 years. As a subject we pride ourselves in providing education in food, nutrition, health and well being to students with and without a science background and providing the sector with tomorrows food and nutrition practitioners. This unique nature of our subject has been highly commented in periodic quality assurance reviews.
Food and Nutrition offers several undergraduate courses which have three main themes:
- The food supply chain – food production, particularly product development
- Human nutrition
- Health and well being
BSc (Hons) Food with Nutrition (single honours award) embraces two of the above themes (the food supply chain and human nutrition) to provide a holistic view of the impact of food provision throughout the food chain with particular reference to consumers.
