              12.    Educational aims of the programme  
              Our mission is to provide an outstanding experience for students; allowing them to develop the 
              cognitive, practical, and professional skills needed to practice as an evidence-based nutritionist 
              in the modern scientific world.  
              The course is open to people of all ages because a passion for nutrition can strike at any time of 
              life; but further the University has a strong commitment to widening participation in higher 
              education and students without the conventional entry qualifications will be considered on their 
              merits and previous life achievements. 
              We offer a broad experience of nutritional concepts to suit a wide range of interests and 
              vocations, ranging from: 
                 •   from Farm to Fork 
                 •   from Mouth to Metabolism 
                 •   from the Young to Old 
                 •   from Sickness to Health 
                 •   from Individuals to Populations 
              These are combined with a strong emphasis on professional and practical skills sought by 
              employers allowing students to enter postgraduate study or a wide range of careers in areas 
              such as healthcare, or the food industry as demonstrated by previous graduate destinations. In 
              conjunction, there is a strong emphasis of building transferable skills that not only engender 
              greater success at university and beyond, but frequently become a professional skill in 
              themselves when motivating and supporting clients to make changes in their lives.

                The focus on ‘hands on’ practical work provides students with useful skills, sought after by 
                employers, to maximise the potential for success in their future careers, possibly in the NHS or 
                industry.  
                In particular, the course aims to: 
                1. Provide a broad practical laboratory curriculum across nutritional sciences. 
                2. Create a supportive learning environment which acknowledges and responds to the 
                diversity of student backgrounds and experiences, and which gives all students the 
                opportunity to realise their academic potential.  
                3. Provide students with an informed opportunity to study nutrition at a depth and level 
                appropriate to honours degree standard.  
                4. Enable the development of professionalism, team working and leadership skills, and 
                the essential skills of time management and task prioritisation.  
                5. Support students in the development of intellectual skills of critical evaluation, 
                scientific analysis and synthesis of ideas, in order for them to be able to optimise their 
                skills of thinking and reflection.  
                6. Foster a spirit of enquiry, scepticism and scientific discipline to enable students to 
                critically evaluate published research and to design and undertake an independent 
                research project of their own.  
                7. Develop highly motivated employable students with the intellectual and practical 
                skills, and resilience necessary to succeed in a developing and challenging employment 
                environment.  
                8. Encourage students to develop a range of nutrition-specific and transferable skills 
                relevant for graduate employment and/or postgraduate study in the biological sciences.

                 Learning, teaching and assessment  
                   For 2021/22, the majority of teaching sessions are face to face on campus. Lectures or lecture 
                   workshops for some modules will be delivered online either ‘live’ or pre-recorded. Individual and 
                   small group tutorials will be arranged online as this has proven to be convenient and popular 
                   with students. 
                  
                 The University places a strong emphasis on enabling students to develop the independent 
                 learning capabilities, spirit of enquiry and sense of aspiration that will equip them for lifelong 
                 learning and future employment, as well as academic achievement.  
                  
                 A mixture of independent study, teaching and academic support through the personal academic 
                 tutoring system enables students to reflect on progress and build up a profile of skills, 
                 achievements and experiences that will support them to flourish and be successful in their 
                 chosen career.    
                  
                 Learning outcomes and combined subject degrees (joint, major, and minor pathways):

                         Students following a joint pathway will have met the majority of the learning outcomes for 
                         both subjects, although the range of knowledge and discipline specific understanding in 
                         terms of options or specialisms will be more restricted than for a single or major Honours 
                         student. 
                     •   Major Pathway 
                         Students following a major pathway will have met the learning outcomes for the subject 
                         but will have focused their studies in relation to subject options or specialisms. 
                     •   Minor Pathway 
                         Students following a minor pathway will have met some of the learning outcomes for the 
                         subject (as indicated by the modules studied), and will have focused the development of 
                         their knowledge, understanding and subject specific skills in particular aspects of the 
                         discipline.  
                          
                 Teaching
