Many students choose to study in Britain because of its high teaching quality and the most cost-effective study abroad. So what about studying abroad as a food nutrition major in the UK? Presumably this is a topic of interest to everyone, so let's take a look at it with me. Welcome to read.

what is food nutrition?

food nutrition is a discipline that studies the relationship between food (diet, processed food and health food) and human health. It focuses on the nutritional components of various foods, balanced diet, food nutritional safety and toxicology, etc., with the aim of ensuring the health and safety of various foods.

employment prospects

judging from the development trend of China's economy and medical and health undertakings, the demand for nutrition professionals is still relatively large. However, due to the backward education system, misunderstanding and the lack of relevant laws and regulations, there is a considerable gap between nutritionists who master professional knowledge in China.

According to incomplete statistics, at present, China's population is 1.3 billion, but there are less than 4,111 professionals engaged in nutrition work, and there are only 1 professional nutritionists for every 311,111 people. In Japan, there are 1 nutritionists for every 331 people, and the number of nutritionists is 2.4 times that of clinicians, reaching more than 411,111; In the United States, the treatment of hospitalized patients must also involve nutritionists. It can be predicted that under the situation that the traditional concept of nutrition and the original way of life are no longer suitable for people's needs, the problem of dietary nutrition and health care will be paid more and more attention, and the demand for specialized personnel to conduct relevant research and provide professional guidance will be increasing. Graduates of this major will have broader employment prospects in the future.

Employment can be roughly divided into three categories: nutritionists, teachers and technicians.

The industries where nutritionists can be employed include hospital nutrition department, rehabilitation center, sports industry, beauty and fitness institute, catering industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc. Industries where teachers or lecturers can be employed include schools, training institutions and corporate lecturers. Technicians (such as quality inspectors, R&D personnel, etc.) can be employed in food processing enterprises, such as Nestle, Master Kong, Yili, and national enterprises and institutions, such as customs and inspection and quarantine bureau.
