School of Nutrition and Health  

 

The 3½-year professional bachelor degree in Nutrition and Health is a relatively new study programme which combines the former programmes of catering management, B.Sc. in nutrition and home economics, and clinical dietetics in a single study programme.
 
The programme consists of a 1½-year foundation course and a main subject. The instruction takes the form of lectures, group work, seminars, exercises, projects, guidance and practical training. The practical training occupies one month of the foundation course and 4-5 months in the main subject. 
 

Nutrition, physical activity, management, health promotion and disease prevention

In terms of content, the foundation course ensures that students acquire a basic knowledge of nutrition, health promotion, foodstuffs, teaching, guidance, etc. During the main subject section, students have the opportunity to specialise in the following areas: Human Nutrition, Catering Management, Clinical Dietetics and Nutrition and Physical Activity.
 
The study programme gives equal emphasis to natural science and health science subjects, as well as to arts subjects and social science subjects.
