The Human Nutrition graduate program provides options for higher-level learning and innovative research in both fundamental and practical aspects of human nutrition. The program combines academic courses with thesis projects involving laboratory experiments or field studies across diverse nutrition-related topics such as metabolic processes of nutrients, relationships between diet and health conditions, nutritional needs at different life stages, and eating patterns.

Qualification Requirements
For admission with full standing into the MSc program, applicants from a Canadian or American university or college must hold a bachelor degree or its academic equivalent with a minimum overall average in the B+ range (at UBC 76% or higher) in all third- and fourth-year courses.
For students whose degree was not completed in English, minimum TOEFL scores are 577 (paper version), 233 (computer version), or 90 (Internet version); or IELTS score of 6.5 with no band less than 6.
In addition, required prerequisite courses include biochemistry, human or vertebrate physiology and advanced nutrition. A minimum of 3 credits (three hours per week, for two academic terms or one academic year) is required in each of biochemistry and physiology, and a minimum of 12 credits is required in nutrition. These prerequisite courses must be completed at the third- or fourth-year level. Students without a background in nutrition, or with fewer than 12 credits of undergraduate courses in nutrition, may apply to the program. However, if admitted, they will be required to take the missing credits of third- or fourth-year nutrition courses early in the graduate program, in addition to the usual MSc course requirements.
