Course description

The degree course is organized in a three-year educational path, aimed at training undergraduates with theoretical and practical knowledge in the chemical and biological field, for chemical, microbiological and quality control of food and dietary products. The program includes core subjects in the area of biological-nutritionist, clinical and chemical-technological aspects, and laboratory activities, aimed at enabling students to acquire cross-disciplinary knowledge in the sphere of nutrition. At the end of the program, undergraduates can enroll in a Master’s degree course or start a professional career

 

Students with a secondary school diploma (5-year course) and students with another qualification obtained abroad and recognized as suitable. No previous knowledge is required but an inclination to study scientific subjects.

 

The program will build the basis to make students become nutritionists who – upon completion of the Master’s degree – will be able to develop diets and nutrition programs. The objective of the Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Science is to provide skills and knowledge in the field of chemical, biological and microbiological food control to protect consumers’ health.

 

Nutrition Science undergraduates continue their studies with a Master’s degree in Nutrition Science. However, undergraduates in Nutrition Science can work as a professional:

– expert in nutritional products

– in laboratories of synthesis, analysis, quality control and certification

– in chemical, food and packaging industries
