Master of Science - Global Public Health Nutrition

专业介绍

Nutrition has long been recognised as a vitally important determinant of health status within both industrialised and industrialising countries. Significant changes are occurring in the profile of nutritional problems. Many countries continue to face problems of malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, but countries in economic transition also face the public health challenge of rising rates of diet-related chronic disease, such as obesity and coronary heart disease. Also, many industrialised countries now face problems of food insecurity among low-income groups. These challenges have led to growing political resources to address nutrition.

There is now an increased need for trained public health nutritionists, to work in a range of contexts, to control and prevent diet-related problems. The United Nations Secretary General has declared 2016–2025 the Decade of Nutrition.

This course will give students the specialist scientific knowledge and practical skills to take an active role in global public health nutrition in a range of different settings.

The course will introduce students to stakeholders and skills that can enhance their professional competency, employability and development as a public health reflective professional.
