Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutrition
About This Programme
This programme looks closely at food science alongside human nutrition. At The Unity University, students learn about food safety, food production, and the nutritional value of different foods, connecting how food is grown and prepared to how it affects health.
Students study food processing and preservation, food safety standards, and how nutrients are affected by cooking and storage. This scientific grounding is paired with practical nutrition knowledge, so graduates understand food from farm to table. Graduates are prepared to work in food safety, nutrition programmes, and food-related health projects.
