University of Plymouth Dietetics subject taster session: Are your food choices really your own?

Find out why people eat the way they do in this interactive subject taster session from the University of Plymouth. Led by Dr Clare Pettinger, the session explores the question: what influences our food choices, and why do dietitians need knowledge that goes beyond nutrition science?

You will look at how psychology, society, culture and the environment shape eating habits, while also getting a clearer sense of what studying dietetics at Plymouth could involve. The session is designed to give prospective students a useful insight into the subject, the kinds of questions dietitians explore, and the broader skills needed in the profession.

This short online event is a chance to hear directly from an academic and to see how dietetics combines scientific understanding with a wider view of human behaviour and everyday life. It is suitable for anyone interested in learning more about dietetics and the study opportunities available at the University of Plymouth.
