We aim to nurture graduates who are capable of integrating scientific principles of nutrition into practical applications in various community and food service settings, thereby enhancing public health and well-being.

Our programme equips students with a comprehensive understanding of human nutrition and its pivotal role in promoting health and preventing diseases. By fostering a deep understanding of the biochemical, physiological and societal roles of nutrients and dietary patterns in maintaining health, we develop students' ability to assess community nutritional needs, plan and implement nutrition programmes, and evaluate their outcomes.
