The range of careers available for Food and Human Nutrition graduates is very wide. Currently about two thirds of our graduates get jobs in the food industry. In the food industry they work as product developers, technolgists, in the marketing department, in company legal departments. In large companies some of our graduates work with occupational health departmens providing health and advice on following a healthy lifestyle. Other graduates follow a career in nutrition research, most taking a higher degree such as a PhD or train to be a science teacher. A small number of graduates do not follow a nutrition course but use their degree to get a graduate job. For example one of our recent graduates joined the army on an officer's training programme and another became an accountant.
