The Master's Degree Course in Food and Human Nutrition aims to provide advanced knowledge and train professional skills suitable for carrying out numerous activities aimed at the correct management and application of food and nutrition in compliance with the relevant regulations. The degree course presents a holistic and systemic vision of food quality in a training that is based on an in-depth knowledge of food and the food environment, the consumer and his nutritional problems. It specifically aims to provide students with knowledge of the building blocks of food quality, safety and sustainability and the ability to link and integrate them into a profile of requirements appropriate to meet the needs of the general population, specific population groups and individuals while respecting the needs and constraints of the food system. To this end, knowledge and skills are provided on the preparation of dietary protocols for the individual and communities as well as on techniques for detecting food consumption, nutritional status, body composition and energy expenditure. In addition, graduates in Food and Human Nutrition acquire essential knowledge of the complex relationships between diet and health and the principles of prevention through nutrition as well as some basic knowledge of consumer psychology, nutritional counseling and communication in the food/nutrition field.
The training received will allow graduates to carry out roles of responsibility in food and pharmaceutical companies, especially with regard to the development and enhancement of food products with a high nutritional impact (functional foods, nutraceutical products), the management of labeling and information relating to nutrition and health claims and the development of certification systems.
