Nutrition has profound effects on both human health
and athletic performance.
Our degrees allow students to examine issues related to nutrition such
as the politics
of food and food production, global nutrition and public health implications
and improving fitness and sporting performance.
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.
We offer courses at undergraduate and postgraduate
level:
-

needed for a nutrition based career.

fitness or sporting performance.
