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.

Courses are individually offered classes that afford higher education opportunities in various areas of study. By taking a series of classes focused in one category, students might pursue a certificate or degree in their field of interest.

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