Working in Partnership with the University of Northampton
Our BSc (Hons) in Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine programme is validated by the University of Northampton (UON), a university awarded Gold, the highest possible mark, in the Government’s Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).
The academic partnerships team at UON seeks to ensure that the teaching and learning experience students receive with collaborative partners is comparable to the high-quality teaching and learning experience its students receive on campus. We are therefore delighted to be able to offer a UON validated programme to our students.
