Graduated in 2022

What I think is really attractive about this programme is the fact that they're covering such a broad area. From molecular nutrition to clinical to public health and policy, sustainable diets, a little bit of sports nutrition as well, and the ability to be able to choose what you're interested in as well - I think it really sets up the students for knowing what they want to do in the future.
