What is a healthy diet? That’s one of today’s hottest topics. Our students know the answer and are experts as regards the right diet for individuals in every situation of life. Why not join us in helping to make our society more healthy?
What you will learn:
Drawing up and implementing nutritional treatment plans
You’ll draw up an individual nutritional treatment plan based on the patient’s symptoms, lab test results, dietary habits and overall personal situation and implement it working together with the patient.
Creating recipes and menus, calculating the nutritional value
You’ll create and improve menus and recipes and calculate the nutritional value according to nutritional guidelines, taking account of regional and individual dietary habits.
Conducting nutritional therapy consultations
You’ll prepare information about the particular types of diet appropriate to the patient’s needs and discuss this with the patient and their relatives.
Analysing social, cultural and economic aspects of diet
You’ll analyse nutritional problems in different regions and cultures and how economics and politics influence our diet.
Formulating and addressing scientific issues
You’ll raise job-related issues which represent appropriate research topics and then address these in class and / or your bachelor thesis.
Planning and implementing projects
You’ll plan projects in small groups and carry these out in different settings.
