Graduate program info session: Human Nutrition (MSc, PhD)
McGill University, including its Macdonald Campus, is known throughout Canada and around the world for conducting pioneering and innovative research. At Macdonald, more than one-quarter of our students are graduate students, making the campus a hub for discussion and debate regarding issues of the environment of natural and human-influenced ecosystems, biosciences and bioproducts for the benefit of society, food, food safety, nutrition and health. Graduate programs are offered by all the academic units on the Macdonald Campus.
Nutrition is the foundation of optimal human health and thriving societies, respectful of harmonious relationships with the environment. Academic programs in the McGill University School of Human Nutrition focus on the availability of food, normal metabolism and clinical nutrition, community nutrition at the local and international level, the evaluation of nutritional products and their use in nutrition, and the communication of information about food and health. We are currently focused on projects in the Montreal area, within communities of Indigenous Peoples, and in Latin America and Africa through McGill.
