The importance of a healthy diet for optimal health
has become increasingly recognised over the past
twenty years. More than ever, there is a need for
well-qualified professionals with specialist
knowledge in nutrition. This book reports on the
first study in the UK which has considered the
quality of postgraduate nutrition education and the
extent to which students are prepared for
employment. Qualitative data were collected using in-
depth interviews from graduates, as well as
employers of postgraduate nutritionists. Although
overall the graduates and employers were satisfied
with the standard of the courses, a number of issues
are raised for further consideration. These include
the academic level, contact time and assessment load
of broad-based Masters Courses, determinants of
success when seeking employment and the value of
including work experience in Masters Programmes.
Although data were collected on one profession,
literature from a range of academic areas has been
reviewed. This book will be of value to all those
involved in postgraduate programmes, or anyone else
who is designing a qualitative research study.
