As a graduate nutritionist, you will have the skills to elicit, disseminate, and apply knowledge drawn from the relevant sciences to promote an understanding of the effects of diet on human health and well-being.

Ulster University is a leading centre for internationally recognised teaching and research in the field of nutrition. You will be taught by registered nutritionists and dietitians, scientists and clinical practitioners.
