A master student of nutritional science can learn the relationships between diet and human health. There are many factors that can contribute to nutrition, and they may include how food interacts with the body, physical differences in diet and epidemiological factors.

A Master of Science is an advanced program of study that can be earned in about two years. Many schools offer online or part-time MSc programs so that busy learners can further their education in a way that is convenient for them.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
