Welcome to DCND

The Department was established in 2016 with the vision to become a centre of excellence in nutrition and dietetics education and research in Ghana and the West Africa Sub-region. Although, a relatively young Department, the department is making giant strides in nutrition and dietetics teaching, research and outreach in the country. This is evident by our growing research initiatives, well-fashioned outreach activities which is promoting health and protecting public health in communities within the Cape Coast Metropolitan Area, as well as the brilliant students we continue to attract.

The Department currently only runs a BSc. Dietetics 4-years degree programme and a BSc. Nutrition programme which is also a 4-year degree programme. The Department also has two research groups; Public Health Nutrition and Translational Nutrition, which are advancing the department’s research agenda through aggressive pursuit of funding for ground breaking and impactful research. We are also actively pursuing collaborations with nutrition and wellness research institutes and centres locally and internationally to help advance our research agenda and inform food and nutrition policies in the country and the sub-region.
