What are the learning hours?
MNU requires a minimum study commitment of approximately 6–10 hours per week to complete the compulsory elements of the course. Additional time can be spent on optional homework, supporting resources and further reading, depending on a student’s existing knowledge, experience and how deeply they want to explore each topic.
Alongside the core course requirements, we provide a range of optional learning activities and resources designed to consolidate your learning, strengthen your professional practice and help you develop more advanced knowledge in specific areas.
How much time you spend on these is completely up to you! If you already have relevant professional experience, you may find that you need less additional study time. If you are new to nutrition or changing careers, we recommend allowing a little more time each week, particularly while you are building your foundational knowledge.
We always encourage you to look carefully at your existing workload before enrolling, as we would hate for studying MNU to create unnecessary stress. Having a realistic study plan in place can help you get the most from the course while balancing your other commitments.
