As part of our commitment to supporting the next generation, The Nutrition Society is proud to offer free membership to all undergraduate students, whatever their discipline and wherever they are in the world. By removing the cost of membership, we want to make our community, resources and opportunities more accessible—helping students discover the value of belonging to the Society and inspiring and supporting them throughout their education and into their future careers.
Your subject, your location and your experience should never be a barrier to exploring nutrition science. That is why undergraduate membership of The Nutrition Society is completely free. Whether you study nutrition, medicine, sport, food science, psychology, public health, agriculture—or a subject that approaches nutrition from a different perspective—you are welcome to join our global community.
Joining while you are at university gives you the opportunity to look beyond your course, discover where nutrition science could take you and begin building connections that can support your studies and future career. You do not need to have chosen a career path—or even be studying a nutrition-related degree. All you need is an interest in nutrition and its role in health and society.
