Profile
Nutraceuticals are concentrated compounds obtained from food sources that can provide health benefits, including prevention of disease and health promotion. Examples of nutraceuticals include substances such as Omega 3, antioxidants, or probiotics. In today’s competitive food industry, and with increased consumer awareness of the link between diet and health, nutraceuticals are a dynamic and growing market sector. This program covers a range of scientific disciplines and new nutraceutical technologies. It aims to produce contemporary food scientists capable of exploiting this growing opportunity in health and wellness. An additional feature is that it covers the emerging area of sports nutrition and nutrigenomics. You’ll undertake a three-month work placement, and a full semester in Year 4 is dedicated to an independent research project that will allow you to develop your research skills and in-depth knowledge in an area of your choice.
Upon graduation, you’ll be qualified to enter postgraduate research programs, both in Ireland and abroad, in nutraceutical research and related areas at masters or Ph.D. level. Demand for researchers in this area is currently high and is predicted to further increase in future years.
