MSc. Nutritional Medicine

Programme Overview

The extensive and increasing media coverage of nutritional health issues in recent years, coupled with the fact that vitamin, mineral and dietary supplements are the largest and fastest-growing OTC (over-the-counter) product sector in the UK and across Europe, testifies to the growing awareness of the importance to the public of such issues.
