Course Overview

What is this course

The QualCert Level 6 Diploma in Nutritional Biochemistry is an advanced qualification designed to provide learners with a deep understanding of the biochemical processes that underpin human nutrition. This program explores how nutrients interact at the molecular level, how they influence metabolism, and how biochemical imbalances can affect health and disease. Learners gain the scientific foundation needed to apply nutritional biochemistry in both clinical and wellness contexts.

Throughout the course, participants will study topics such as macronutrient and micronutrient metabolism, enzymatic functions, biochemical pathways, and the role of nutrition in cellular health. The curriculum emphasizes evidence‑based knowledge and practical applications, including case studies and applied research. Students will also develop analytical skills to interpret biochemical data and apply it to nutritional planning, health promotion, and disease prevention.

Graduates of this diploma will be well‑equipped to pursue careers in nutrition science, health consultancy, wellness coaching, and research. The qualification enhances professional credibility and provides a pathway for specialization in advanced nutrition and biochemistry. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical expertise, this program empowers professionals to make meaningful contributions to improving health outcomes through a deeper understanding of the science of nutrition.
