Course summary

This full-time MSc Clinical and Public Health Nutrition focuses on the problems of over- and under-nutrition, which apply to most developed nations as well as those undergoing rapid transformation. We offer specialised training in the clinical and scientific basis of malnutrition and obesity and therapeutic approaches to correcting this in hospital, community, and educational settings. This MSc is ideal for anyone wishing to pursue a career in cutting-edge research, the practice of nutrition therapy, or in clinical and/or nutrition industries. We focus on periods of the lifecycle when nutrition is particularly important, such as acute illness, trauma, surgery or malignancy, and chronic conditions in which disease, nutrition and treatment interact. We explore the aetiology, pathophysiology, and epidemiology of obesity alongside the approaches currently used in its treatment. We examine the key issues related to nutrition in public health. Food insecurity is a major concern for both developed and developing regions around the world. We also examine the impact of healthy eating programmes and consider how organisations meet the nutritional needs of differing populations. The UCL Division of Medicine has effective links with clinical services at University College London Hospitals (UCLH) and the Royal Free Hospital. You will benefit from a rich and varied research environment and from the expertise of the clinicians and scientists who teach on this MSc. This course is ideal for medically qualified graduates, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, nutritionists, and bio-scientists with a keen interest in the disease / malnutrition axis and in effective nutritional therapies.
