Abstract
The University of Surrey was recently awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize in recognition of excellence in teaching and research within food and nutrition. This chapter describes a pedagogic study whereby a student and staff researcher worked in partnership to ascertain student experiences of the nutrition curriculum in relation to threshold concepts (five core competencies required by the professional body, the Association for Nutrition) employing the use of focus groups. Along with identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the present curriculum, this project also highlighted how crucial it is to include the student voice, and their appreciation of the curriculum standards, in the curriculum design process.
