Head of Department

Welcome to the Department of Nutrition and Food Science!

We are a vibrant community brought together by a shared interest in food, nutrition, health and their impact on people and society. But beyond the teaching and research, we are also a close-knit and supportive academic family where students are encouraged to learn, explore, ask questions and grow.

We believe some of the best learning happens when knowledge meets experience. Our students therefore have opportunities to build practical skills, engage with industry and communities, participate in research and innovation, and learn from one another. Our vibrant student community brings its own energy to the Department and makes it an exciting place to study and grow.

Our goal is simple: to help our students discover what they are good at, develop the confidence and skills to pursue it, and leave us ready to make a difference, whether in industry, academia, research, clinical and public health practice, government, policy, entrepreneurship or development.

Whether you are joining us as a student, visiting as a collaborator, reconnecting as an alumnus or simply getting to know us, you are welcome here.
