Description

The studies of Nutritional Sciences are characterized by interdisciplinarity, meaning that the subjects of many different scientific areas are integrated. Therefore a broad insight into the wide spectrum is necessary for the students. During the first section of the curriculum the students learn a lot of the basic disciplines related to the nutritional sciences. Aim of the studies is to become a specialist for all questions concerning human nutrition. Therefore the graduates need a broad education, integrating all aspects of human nutrition and at the same time allowing them to implicate their knowledge within other disciplines. During the first part of the study basics of natural sciences are transferred, which is highly relevant for the comprehensiveness of the courses building the second part of the study. During the second part of the study a more expert orientated education in the several areas of nutrition and food sciences and a further deepening in the form of free eligible focuses are given. The studies are completed by a diploma thesis and a final examination.
