Nutrition with Food Marketing with Placement

Nutrition with food marketing combines two disciplines that together address both the science of what we eat and the commercial and cultural forces that shape our food choices. Nutrition is grounded in biochemistry and physiology, examining how nutrients are digested, absorbed, and used by the body, and how dietary patterns relate to health across the life course. Food marketing adds a strand of business and consumer knowledge, looking at how food products are developed, positioned, and communicated in a world where consumer behaviour, sustainability, and regulation all compete for attention.

Understanding both dimensions is increasingly valuable in a food industry that faces scrutiny from public health advocates, policymakers, and an informed consumer base.

At Newcastle University, this four-year full-time programme develops your critical, analytical, and professional skills across both subject areas. You will study human physiology and nutritional science alongside modules in marketing strategy, consumer behaviour, branding, and food systems. The programme is designed to produce graduates who are conscientious and socially aware food professionals, equipped to navigate the ethical as well as commercial dimensions of the sector.

The course includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study at a partner institution and to gain an international perspective on food culture, marketing, and public health. Typical entry requires around 152 tariff points.

Graduates of this programme are well placed for careers across the food and health industries. Roles in food product development, public health nutrition, marketing and communications, retail buying, and food policy are all accessible with this combination of skills. Graduates may also work for food manufacturers, supermarkets, health charities, government agencies, or consultancies with food and health briefs.

For those who wish to develop their expertise further, postgraduate study in nutrition, dietetics, public health, or marketing provides a clear pathway. The degree's dual focus gives you a distinctive professional profile that is genuinely sought after in a sector where science and commerce must work together.
