Bachelor of Science - Human Nutritional Sciences - Foods (Advanced Entry)

The Human Nutritional Sciences program focuses on the impact of nutrition at every level of human life—from molecules and metabolism to global populations. This program explores how nutrition applies to different human needs and lifestyles, the importance of nutrition to community health and the role nutrition plays in preventing and managing disease.

Students will explore a sector of the agri-food industry through a paid work placement that earns them academic credit towards their degree. While participating in Co-op Program students engage throughout the placement in an online self-directed course that provides them with ongoing evaluation from their workplace. University of Manitoba’s human nutritional science professors are internationally recognized researchers in applied human nutrition, metabolic and molecular nutrition and food chemistry and quality. Their studies will integrate concepts in metabolism, food and community nutrition and include training in biochemical and analytical methods.
