You will be introduced to important concepts in nutrition and ascertain the sources, functions and requirements for energy and all essential nutrients. In the second year you will build on the foundation knowledge provided in year one and explore the factors affecting food choice, the determination of nutritional requirements, the assessment of nutritional status, nutritional needs throughout the lifecycle and the links between nutrition, health and disease. Level 6 focuses on advanced and applied topics. Examples of modules offered include: clinical nutrition, sports nutrition, functional and novel foods, weight management, food policy and health promotion and a specialist module in anthropometry (measurement of human body composition), which can also lead to an external qualification from ISAK.
