Programme Introduction
The programme aims to address current challenges in nutritional science by emphasizing a preventive approach. The subjects are based on the latest scientific findings and provide both theoretical and practical knowledge. During the Master’s programme in Nutritional Sciences, students acquire advanced nutritional expertise, with the option to specialise in preventive, therapeutic, or sports nutrition, as well as in food science. They study the physiological and biochemical processes of human nutrition in depth, including the epigenetic background, the role of the microbiome, and the consumption of fermented food ingredients. Nutrition-related disorders, the evaluation of body composition, the analysis of foods, and the functional mechanisms of food ingredients are also covered in detail.
The Nutritional Sciences MSc programme at Széchenyi István University is designed to equip graduates with the knowledge, skills, and attributes necessary for successful careers in the field of nutritional science. The Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) are as follows:
PEO#1: Nutritional Science Practices:
Integrating research findings into training and product development.
PEO#2: Applied Health Science:
A comprehensive approach to examining the connections between foods, herbs, and diseases.
PEO#3: Economic Approach:
Applying management knowledge to food-industry product development.
PEO#4: Preventive Nutrition:
Understanding the role of modern kitchen technologies in health preservation.
Structure of studies:
The programme includes 4 semesters and 90 hours of professional practice carried out outside the institution, organised in a timetable that aligns with the training period.
