Course Overview

Overweight and obesity have been associated with physiological and psychological ill health and a number of links have been demonstrated for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cancers, polycystic ovary syndrome, and depression to name but a few. During the 2020/21 Covid-19 crisis there have also been emerging links between excess weight, obesity, and the risk and severity of the infection. Personal costs of overweight and obesity, but also costs to the health and wider economy are substantial and growing on an annual basis. The management of excess weight and prevention of obesity is, therefore, an important tool in the kit of improving public health with diet, nutrition, exercise, and behavior change techniques. Students will also develop an increasing awareness of societal perspectives on obesity and weight management strategies and policies. This course provides advanced-level education, continuous professional development, and training for those already holding or seeking roles in obesity prevention, weight management, health promotion, public health, and related areas. Topics covered in the program include the latest developments in public health and obesity prevention strategies, diet and nutrition, exercise, psychology and behavior change, and research methods. We also include a number of practical and problem-based sessions in our teaching and assessments to give students hands-on experience in assessing body composition (anthropometrics), dietary intake and physical activity, devising and analyzing recipes and meal plans, and delivering weight management consultations.

General Eligibility

The course is open to candidates with a minimum of a 2:2 honors degree in health, nutrition, exercise, or closely related subject area. Appropriate equivalent professional qualifications may also be considered.
