Nutrition personal statement example.

I have always found anything to do with science fascinating from a very young age. My father being a medical doctor and my mother a nurse, I have grown to appreciate how medical science can be applied to help sustain life in general. However, my desire is to take that further by developing skills that can help integrate science and the general public together as I have realized the ever growing importance of nutrition, as my goal is to pursue a career as a nutritionist. There is more demand now than ever for people to learn the effects and functions of food due to an increased rise in illnesses that are linked to food, for example, obesity, anorexia, diabetes, malnutrition and many more. I believe as a nutritionist I will be required to educate and advise the public about food and create suitable dietary information for different groups of people and also to provide concrete scientific explanation which is just one out of countless reasons that drove me towards studying as a nutritionist.

The idea of going into a profession that requires constant development in technicalities, approaches and personalities with a global outreach is a burning desire. Hopefully, I will be able to help countries in developing or underdeveloped economies with my skills.

My preparation for a lifetime career as a nutritionist is on going. From my understanding so far about nutrition, it is mostly about giving comprehensive patient care. The skills of the nutritionist are crucial to modern medicine. At A level, I developed a number of portfolios that were research based. One of the portfolios was on food technology and another was planning and carrying out a scientific investigation. In these units, things I did were to find out the effects of cooking and drying on vitamin C levels in food and designing a vegetarian meal. Part of this research included using volumetric analysis with apparatus such as burette, pipette, etc.

I have had some experience in the working world, which has enabled me to gain a wider perspective of my education. Since May 2006, I have been employed with Southern Cross care homes (The largest care company in Britain)as a health care assistant for the elerly and I have found it a very worthwhile experience and as a result I matured a great deal. As part of my community service, I was fortunate to be involved in a scheme in which I was able to help a younger student in year seven with mathematics and science. I gained patience and good listening skills, tools that are valuable in studying nutrition. I have also participated in a number of school based quizzes in my early stages of secondary education whilst back in Zambia.

I was born in Ashford, Middlesex in England- four months before my father completed his 5 year post graduate studies in the UK and returned to Zambia. Ever since going to Zambia, I attended Tatenda early learning trust school, Chipembi girls secondary school and Thornhill boarding school in Zambia. This is where I attained Primary Leaving and junior secondary school leaving Certificates. I returned to the UK in October 2004 and continued with my education at Cheney school in Oxford.

I enjoy talking to people, making friends, reading, cycling, theatre, music and plays. I am a very committed and hard working person and therefore believe that University is the ideal place for me to extend my education as I am confident that I will meet the demands made by studying nutrition at degree level.

I feel ecstatic about going to University as I believe it will be an amazing experience for me, both educationally and socially. I can only now thank you in anticipation and only hope you will consider me as a prospective student at your university in September 2008.

The humanitarian side of food science.

If you’re interested in food security, the health and welfare of people who live in some of the poorest regions of the world and would like to go in that direction in your career, hats off to you! It’s challenging to live and work in a different country, where the culture and language may be unfamiliar to you. However, this is also some of the more fulfilling and worthwhile work anyone could want to do, and as the nonprofit section expands, there are more and more opportunities for people to enter this field, and get paid for it.

Let’s look at some examples of the sorts of posts available to food scientists like you.

VSO is advertising their spot for a Food Technologist at the time of writing. This is a six-month position in Kenya, and you’ll need 3-5 years’ experience to be accepted. You’ll also need a degree in food science or food technology, and a post-graduate qualification in either is preferred. A background or interest in NGOs is required and branding experience would be advantageous. You’ll learn how to ride a motorbike before the placement begins. And you’ll be provided with a financial package which includes a local living allowance, return flights, accommodation and extensive training before you go.

You’ll be working will Help Self Help Centre’s Marketing and Value Chain Development Manager to build relationships with suppliers and customers, ensuring products are profitable, by: supporting safe and efficient development, modification and the manufacture of food products and processes using staff training and the implementation of a production line; scout for market to target; improve methods of quality control, source raw materials; plus other related tasks.

There are a wide range of organizations that work with food security exclusively. The Barilla Center for Food and Nutrition Foundation is a private non-profit and apolitical institution that produces valuable scientific content which can be used in inform and help people make conscious choices about food and nutrition and health and sustainability. Contact them at braillacfn.com to learn how you can get involved.

The Center for Food Safety is another powerful organization and nonprofit that works to protect human health and the environment by curbing the use of harmful food production technologies and promoting organic and other forms of sustainable agriculture. At the time of writing, they are seeking to find a Research & Administrative Intern based in Washington, D.C., to join the small but diverse team working on policy, litigation and advocacy campaigns. In this post, you would be supervised by the Operations Director and would work with the Executive Director, Policy Analysts, Program Directors and the Legal Team. You should be prepared to manage several tasks and responsibilities simultaneously as well as perform research, and write and edit CFS materials. You only need a Bachelor’s Degree, a strong interest in sustainable agriculture and food, organics and the negative aspects of the industrial food system. Check out centerforfoodsafety.org for more information on this or other posts.

If you’re going to work in a humanitarian job, you don’t have to study a straight Food Science or Technology master’s degree if you don’t want to. You could, and if that’s what you’d like to do, great. Go for it! However, there are a lot of fascinating programs out there that you could consider.

The M.Sc. in Food Security at the University of Warwick, UK, draws together critical components such as the contribution of climate change, biodiversity, water, soil, land use, labor, nutrition transition and urbanization with food security.

This two-year, full-time course includes modules on: Crop Physiology and Production; Advances in Crop Protection; Soil, Water and Mineral Nutrition; Environmental Accounting and Ecosystems Services; The Global Food System; Organic and Low Input Systems; Challenges of Global Food Security and a Project/Work Placement, among a number of other compulsory and optional modules. Tuition fees are just under 19,700 GBP.

If you’ve always wondered what living in the rolling hills of Wales is like, what about the M.Sc. in Food, Space and Society? This course is specifically aimed at students who wish to gain expertise in contemporary food geographies, and includes the study of the theoretical debates surrounding food at different spatial scales, as well as justice and sustainability and the scope for applying cutting-edge policy and practical solutions to the challenges that face the increasingly complex food system.

The M.Sc. in Sustainability in Agriculture, Food Production and Food Technology in the Danube Region (and the multicultural European region in general) is of interest to you, and you like to travel, the BOKU University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria is the host of this master’s program. You’ll actually have to travel and study at at least three different universities!

Once you’re done with this program, you’ll have a deep knowledge of agriculture and food production and the sustainability of the Danube Region, have the capability to select and apply adequate methods for sustainability in agriculture, food production and food technology. You’ll have studied Food Safety and Consumer Science; Biotechnology; Sustainable Energy Systems; plus many other modules. Get in touch with the institution for more information on the cost of this two-year course.

Ghent University in Belgium offers a M.Sc. in Nutrition and Rural Development: Human Nutrition. There are a range of different elective courses to choose from, but the common part of the program consists of the study of production, transformation, preservation, marketing and the consumption of food products. The practical component of the program involves identifying problems using quantitative and qualitative research methods and analytical techniques and how to plan, execute and evaluate the appropriate interventions.

Choosing a master’s program can be overwhelming. But we’re sure that there are a few you’ve been looking at that just seems to jump out at you. Every master’s course has something to offer, and you can often take your research in a unique direction that interests you personally. If you’ve nailed down a few courses and need help with the final push of writing your personal statement, shoot us an email! We’ll be happy to provide you with a statement that’s based on decades of academic experience.

I want to Help with your Personal Statement of Purpose for Graduate School in Food Science, Masters, PHD.

We are especially concerned with the fact that about 780 million people in developing countries still do not have access to enough food to meet their basic daily needs for nutritional well-being. Food systems in developing countries are seldom well organized and developed as in the industrialized world. Moreover, problems of growing population, urbanization, lack of resources to deal with pre- and post- harvest losses in food, and problems of environmental and food hygiene mean that food systems in developing countries continue to be stressed, adversely affecting quality and safety of food supplies. People in developing countries are therefore exposed to a wide range of potential food quality and safety risks.

Search by Degree, Field, or Country of Origin

I am especially interested in contemporary ethical issues of food, agricultural and life sciences, and particularly policy making in these areas. I have had the privilege of working on behalf of members of professional organisations focusing on food and agriculture such as  the European Society for Agriculture and Food Ethics, the Agriculture, Food and Human Values Society (USA), and the European Federation of Biotechnology.

Building a Culture of Food Safety

I have read several systematic treatments of many important philosophical and ethical aspects of food (consumption and production). May we eat just anything? Can we do everything with animals, even genetic modification? If not, how can we regulate those processes so that they lead to optimum animal welfare while at the same time producing optimum taste? The production of food also causes environmental pollution – does the fight against hunger have priority over the care of the environment? The care of the environment, animal welfare, and the quality of food should be in a certain harmony, but that is far from granted and hardly easy to achieve. These factors are often in conflict with each other, and a balance will thus need to be searched for.

Other factors to take into consideration are the issue of global famine, the care for a farming class that is able to keep its head above water in a decent way, and a fair trade system that does not throw up unnecessary barriers for newcomers or small market participants and that promotes good nutrition. Famine continues to be a widespread phenomenon that violates human rights, causing nearly a billion people to suffer from hunger or malnutrition. At the same time, deliberate hunger, abundance, and obesity are prevalent in the Western world. Both issues refer to the social and cultural aspects of food. Scientific and technological developments like genetic modification and functional food also play an increasingly important role; almost every bite that we take is determined by scientific developments.

An extra difficulty is that scientific information is often contradictory, or that it relies on statistical probabilities that are difficult to translate into everyday certitudes. All of these factors deserve attention, but it is the mix that is most important.

Statement of purpose (SOP) sample for Food Science and Nutrition

Introduction:.

The knowledge gained from childhood is that everyone should be healthy, and to be healthy, everyone should be aware of nutritious food. A quote by Hippocrates, “The natural healing force in each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food.”, has inspired me and has added fuel in choosing Bachelor in Food Science and Nutrition as my subject for further studies. 

I, <your name> (Passport No: <number>), a permanent resident of <address>, come from a developing country where ** of the total population are unaware of nutritious food and oral hygiene. They are unaware of what eating healthy food means and its significant role in keeping one’s health in good form. People in my country lack proper knowledge of such a crucial subject and hence have significant health issues and are risking their valuable lives. These facts have also barged me to undergo such a topic for my further studies. They would add excellent value to my knowledge to help my country's rural population and build a healthy, nutritional nation. 

When the girls my age were busy planning weddings for their dolls, I dreamt of eliminating people's problems in resolving their health-related issues due to my country's lack of proper healthcare and knowledge, especially in rural areas. As I grew, I realized healthcare facilities were not just an issue; lack of nutrition knowledge was also significant for people not being healthy in my country. This is also a reason I wish to undergo the subject of my choice for my further studies. The aim I carried since my early childhood helped me concentrate on my studies, and my experience during my dentistry practice fueled my commitment towards achieving my aim. The sense of responsibility towards mankind and my aim made me a hardworking student since my school days and also generated a love for science.

My knowledge gateway, my school <school name>, has been close to my heart. My school has been a great source of inspiration, as my academic knowledge started from here. Being one of the most hardworking students, I was a student who always kept my studies with utmost priority. My studies were never put up for compromise, neither by me nor by my parents. I achieved a GPA of 3.5, first division with distinction in my grade 10. As the first milestone of my life, this was a very satisfying achievement for me, and to start making my parents proud of me.

Coming from a family that believes in simple living high thinking, I always believed that success would never come to you without you having a proper aim and urging you to earn it. From achieving a distinction and ending a fruitful journey to my schooling, I never looked back.

I still remember my first visit to a dentist for my tooth extraction, and his comforting words, “I help people lead healthy lives by giving them healthy, bright smiles” was how I was fascinated to pursue dentistry right after my schooling. My dentist's words to comfort me inspired a girl who wanted to help people lead healthy lives. Also, the fact that dentists were doctors who weren't always rushing and could enjoy quality time with their families was another exciting factor for a family person like me to join the profession. Hence, as soon as I completed my schooling, I joined Dental Hygiene to pursue further studies. 

Competing amongst hundreds and thousands of students applying to get a seat in one of the finest colleges in <country name>, <college name>, securing a seat for myself proved to be another landmark. The happiness and belief in me could be easily seen in my parents’ eyes, which has inspired me to perform better at each level of my life. Joining college was an excellent opportunity to pursue my studies in Dentistry and to help people lead a healthy life, which was my childhood aspiration. It was like diving into an ocean full of resources without limits to gaining knowledge. During my dental course, I got many chances to participate in different workshops that helped me gain practical knowledge and better understand my academics. My academic journey has undoubtedly been commendable, with me securing a GPA of 3.3 in my Dental Science, and it would not be unfair to call myself a hardworking and career-focused person.  

Why Australia?

After trying to research the best courses offered in the related subject of my interest, it was heartbreaking to find out that there are less than a handful of courses in my country that were related to the subject I aimed to pursue, Bachelor of Food Science and Nutrition. It was so pitiful to know that my country still lags in providing quality education in such subjects with proper practicals involved, and few colleges adapted to the international level education system have limited seats available. Hence, after several references and referrals, I learned that Australian universities have become an ideal place for higher education studies, sought by many prospective international students. Apart from offering the best quality education, the universities in Australia have heartily accepted international students and have always made sure that they pursue their education in a peaceful and multicultural environment. 

Considering these circumstances, I started researching destinations that best suit me to pursue my studies. I researched over 20-25 colleges in various developed countries like; the USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK. I found vast differences in all the provisions for international students in each country. I found the USA a little unsafe recently due to issues of racism, which were heartbreaking. The UK, however, was very expensive in terms of the living and fee structure. Canada was unsuitable for me due to its climatic conditions. I found Australia to fit me in every aspect. First, the climate here was almost the same as in my country. Second, the fee structure of the universities in Australia is reasonable. The living expenses for an international student are affordable too.

Why Bachelor of Food Science and Nutrition?

As I learned about the different scopes of dentistry during the last year of the program, Food and Nutrition attracted me very much. Also, during my 4 weeks of professional field practice, my interest in the subject had already grown even more profound as I realized the first and foremost major factor for a person to be healthy depended upon what s/he eats. After completing my program in Dental Science, I got an opportunity to work for < company name>. During my association with the dental clinic, I encountered many unhealthy patients because of their eating habits, which was also a significant reason for their unhealthy oral hygiene. Coming across many situations and patients, my slowly growing interest in Food and Nutrition urged me to apply for the same for my further studies. Hence, I have decided to broaden my knowledge of Food and Nutrition for further studies. 

While researching the subject, the course is rated 5 stars for skills development in Health Services & Support in Study in Australia-Study Info Centre Guide . I believe after the completion of the course. I will be able to build essential skills and knowledge about the role of food and nutrition in human health and illness prevention, food composition knowledge and cooking/culinary skills, novel food product design, the role of food and nutrition in the performance of the body during various activities, and an understanding of food and its impacts on the human microbiome, which will surely help in my aim of becoming a nutritionist.

Also, the pandemic has made me realize how people in the field of science are valued. From doctors and nurses who have been the fighters at the frontline to the scientists who have been continuously working to produce vaccines to cure this deadly disease. This has also fueled my interest in science and made firmer points about how I must change the world and my country by serving the field. To achieve my aim of a better education, my parents fully support my decision to apply to Australia for my further studies since my country lacks education for subjects. Not to forget their endless efforts to support me in everything I ask for. They have accepted my decision to go abroad for further studies and will sponsor me throughout my course.

Why Perth and <your applied university>?

While researching universities and cities in the country, Perth has attracted me powerfully. The internationally recognized qualifications gained in Perth had higher turnover for a rewarding and successful career. WA’s education system is recognized around the globe as one of the best. The State’s practical approach to education, guided by teachers who are experts in the field, was another factor any international student would look forward to. Also, Perth offers one of the highest standards of living in the world and yet is more affordable than many other study destinations. Another fact that attracted me was that international students receive a 40 per cent discount on all public transport, and buses within Perth’s city centre are free. Also, reading that Perth is famous for its cultural diversity and that people of more than 200 different nationalities live, work and study in WA, speak over 170 languages and practice over 100 religions generated a sense of safety for an international student like me who is travelling abroad for the first time and also my parents. 

Amongst the many universities in the country, I researched the leading universities and colleges offering my choice of course. First, I came across the University of ***. The university was located in **. The course fee offered by the university AUD*** was higher, excluding my living expenses. Also, <city> seemed to be expensive for international students. The following university I researched was the University of ****. The university was located in Melbourne, and the total course expense was AUD ****. This seemed somewhat reasonable, but the living expense in the city was on the higher side and almost as it was like living in Sydney. While in a dilemma, my friend’s cousin, currently residing in Sydney, suggested that I apply to universities in Perth. Perth sounded very reasonable for international students, and while researching universities in the area, the <your applied university>, Perth, best fitted me. The university has more than *** students and *** staff from across *** countries. The university's teaching techniques were another factor that made me choose it for my future endeavours. The cost for the completion of the total program was AUD ***. Also, the university is ranked as the best university in the country. 

Financial Support:

To achieve my aim of better education, my parents fully support my decision to apply to Australia for further studies. They have heartily accepted my decision to go abroad for further studies and have taken the responsibility of sponsoring me throughout my course duration. 

Well aware of the financial abilities that are to be met by an international student who plans to study in Australia, I will be fully sponsored by my parents for my education and living costs during my stay in the country. My parents have applied for an Education Loan from <bank name> to cover my tuition fee and expenses for the 1st year in the country. Also, funding me would not be a problem for my parents, as my parents have a regular source of income. My father, <name>, works as a <company name> manager, and his annual income is NPR ****. Whereas my mother is a registered nurse and works at < hospital name>, her annual income is ***. My parents are working and have already saved enough funds for my education and living costs in Australia. Hence, sponsoring me would not burden my parents as they are financially secure with a regular income of *** backed up with suitable property in major cities of Nepal. 

Future Plan and Purpose to return home:

People who head to developed countries for higher education must realize that it is high time for them to return and utilize their knowledge on factors that would help our country develop. Hence, choosing to gain a higher degree from a different land would add value to meet my aim to see my country as a developed, healthy nation, as there are few educational resources to complete the subject of interest in my homeland. 

After completing my course in the stipulated time, I would return to my country and first be associated with an I/NGO as a nutritionist, as many organizations are working for nutrition programs in rural areas. Many nutrition-based programs such as …, …, …, and … would be my major priority. Being associated with such programs would help me understand the situation of the rural population lacking nutritional habits. Earning a degree in such a program will add value to my resume to get through such reputed organizations where I can bag prominent positions such as Program Manager, Country Director, or even Project Head. These positions in the organizations mentioned above are prestigious, offering attractive salary packages with additional facilities for the staff and their nearest family members. A Project Manager earns a starting pay cheque of ****. The degree I earn from Australia and working for such organizations would help me gain ample knowledge and experience to pave my path towards my long-term goal of establishing an organization of my own 5 years from now, which would help the rural population to gain knowledge over the miracle of nutritional food for their healthy living. 

Apart from mastering my aim, I would also want to head back to my country for my parents, who have never thought twice before shedding a single drop of sweat into investing in me and what I have achieved. After achieving my degree, I would return to help my parents raise my little sister. Not to forget, I also want to be an example for my sister to work hard and achieve her dreams like her older sister. 

Declaration: 

It would not be unfair to address myself as a deserving candidate to get a chance to enrol myself in this reputed institution as I come from a family of solid ethics of hard work, which is also shown by my academic results and my PTE result overall of 78 scorings. I am well aware of the student visa conditions Sub-Class 500 in Australia, which are:

• I need to maintain a minimum of 80% attendance in class as my family is sponsoring me.
• I am allowed to work not more than 40 hours per fortnight except for vacation periods.
• To pass, I should get 50% marks in each subject.
• Until 6 Months of enrollment, I cannot transfer or change to other universities or colleges.
• According to Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), I need health insurance until I stay in Australia.
• Involvement in any criminal activity is strictly not permitted.
• If I change the address or contact details, I must inform the University/Department of Home Affairs (DHA) within 7 days.

Further, if given a chance to enrol in the reputed institution, I would leave no stone unturned to prove myself worthy of the opportunity given. I would also complete my studies within the allocated time and return to my country to achieve my dream. 

Yours Sincerely,

<your name>

Read dietetic personal statements below. 

Dietetic Personal Statement

Unlocking the potential of a well-balanced diet to transform lives and promote healthier lifestyles – is my passion and my calling as a prospective dietitian. The importance of a well-balanced diet to a healthy lifestyle is something that I have always been aware of and I would like to help others achieve this by changing their dietary habits. With obesity rates on the rise, I believe that the role of dietitians will become increasingly important in addressing society’s health issues. 

My studies at Schoolcraft College in Subjects Allied to Healthcare have provided me with a solid foundation in chemistry and biology and have also given me a taste of the demands of university-level education. Additionally, I have attended various short courses on nutrition and dietetics, such as Kensington and Chelsea College’s course on Nutrition, Healthy Eating and Weight Management, which was particularly impactful as it was led by Antia Tull, whose books on nutrition have greatly influenced my understanding of the subject.

My previous work experience as a nanny has also played a significant role in my decision to pursue a career in dietetics. The close relationship that I formed with the children in my care and the role that food plays in their development made me realize the impact that a good-quality diet can have on a child’s long-term development and day-to-day behaviour. I have made it a personal mission to educate myself on nutrition and dietetics while working as a nanny to ensure that the children in my care are receiving the best possible start in life.

Furthermore, my experience as a sales assistant has taught me how to work well under pressure and as part of a team, both of which are important skills for healthcare professionals. My internship experience at Dr Andrew’s Nutrition further solidified my desire to pursue a career in dietetics. During my 6-month internship, I was able to gain hands-on experience in the field and learn about the various aspects of dietetics. It was a valuable opportunity that gave me a deeper understanding of the profession and the impact that dietitians can have on people’s lives.

My ultimate goal is to work as a pediatric dietitian, where I can combine my love of child care with my enthusiasm for nutrition and make a positive impact in the lives of children. I am excited about the possibility of achieving this goal through further education and training in the field of dietetics.

Additionally, I am comfortable interacting with others in unfamiliar situations, an important skill in a career that relies heavily on communication.

In my spare time, I enjoy participating in a variety of activities that further develop my skills. I volunteer as a young guide leader for my local group, working towards a leadership qualification that will help me develop teamwork and leadership skills. Additionally, I am a member of a local gym to improve my fitness and build self-confidence, and I work part-time at a retail store, honing my customer service skills. Furthermore, I take part in my college’s enrichment programme, including IT and Queen’s Scout Award, which have provided me with qualifications in text production and developed my teamwork and leadership skills. I am eager to begin the dietetic course and contribute to the field through my dedication and passion for the subject.
