5 Doctorate Degrees in Nutritional Science 2022

The Nutritional Sciences Ph.D. program at the College of Food and Agriculture is within the common framework of the UAE University Ph.D. Program. The objectives of the program are to provide students with (1) expertise in the fundamental principles of modern nutritional science, (2) detailed conceptual and technical skills in the identified area of specialized research interest, (3) strong written and oral communication skills, and (4) the opportunity to conduct dissertation research that will contribute to the body of knowledge in nutrition. -

The Doctorate of Nutrition Science program helps students develop the set of skills necessary to occupy positions in food production plans and work in quality assurance, product development, microbiology, and chemical analysis as well as roles within consulting laboratories, government organizations, and regulatory bodies. -

The candidate for this research programme should describe nutrition-based therapies to prevent and treat common diseases and ailments. Every disease, symptom, secretion and pain results from a biochemical imbalance in the body. -

Our PhD program is acknowledged as a STEM program according to the Carnegie classification. Over the last 20 years, there has been an increased research focus on the role of exercise and nutrition on health, performance, and disease. There has also been an increased interest in identifying strategies to reduce the risk of chronic diseases through behavioral modification and wellness intervention programs. The goal of this research has been to identify ways to optimize performance, health, and quality of life. Clinically-related research on preventive and rehabilitative health represents one of the strongest areas for private and public funding. There are also significant resources available to implement community-based fitness and wellness education programs, particularly to under-served communities. Historically, research in this area has been conducted in a multidisciplinary manner through the collaborative efforts of scientists trained in exercise physiology, nutrition, rehabilitation, health, psychology, chemistry, molecular biology, nursing, and/or medicine. While this collaborative approach has been successful, there has been a well-recognized need to develop doctoral programs that integrate exercise science and nutrition so that researchers are better prepared to conduct multidisciplinary health science research. Our program is one of few designed to train specialists in the areas of exercise science and nutrition. -

Throughout the ages, humans have wondered about the connection between nutrition, human health and performance. A research programme in scientific nutrition confirms that health and well-being depend on eating a diet that provides all the vital chemical nutrients to maintain biochemical harmony in the body. Every disease, symptom, discharge and pain indicates a chemical imbalance in the body. The realities of nutrition are based on the type and amount of nutrients in each food that are needed to carry out the chemical reactions necessary to sustain a healthy life. -
