Did you know that in Germany alone, more than four million people are affected by malnutrition, undernutrition, under-nutrition or over-nutrition? Yet healthy eating and drinking support growth, development and performance as well as general mental and physical health. The topic of healthy eating has received widespread public interest for years, and prevention programs have been in demand for some time. However, the issue of a balanced diet is also becoming increasingly important in clinical care. In the treatment of cancer patients, nutrition plays a crucial role and makes professional nutrition planning and support indispensable.
Therefore, during your studies we will deal comprehensively with the composition and mode of action of our nutrition and you will learn to know, understand and treat nutrition-related diseases. As a nutritionist, you will be able to comprehensively evaluate the trends in the industry in order to provide your patients and clients with the best possible advice and therapy.
During your studies you will gain extensive experience and versatile methodological skills in the core areas of nutrition science, both in theory and in practice. After graduation, you will be able to face future questions and challenges in the field of nutritional sciences, both in clinical and preventive medicine.
To this end, we provide you with detailed medical and nutritional therapy knowledge based on the latest scientific and research findings. In addition, we involve you in numerous practical projects and give you important impulses for your work as a nutrition therapist.
Your career opportunities could not be more diverse. With your degree, you can perform nutritional therapy and counseling roles in clinical and health care settings, as well as in schools, daycare centers and other public settings.
Outpatient and clinical sites for nutrition counseling and health insurance companies.
Our bachelor's degree also qualifies you for further research-oriented master's degree programs - so teaching, research and academia are also possible career fields. A master's degree opens the way to a doctorate and an academic career. At our university, for example, you can get started with the master's program Health and social management.
You study with us in a full-time study model, but in a block structure typical for our university. This means that the attendance times at our university are compressed and you can already work in practice during your studies. This means that your studies can be ideally combined with a career and private requirements.
In concrete terms, this means that you will complete a total of 6 blocks per semester, each with 4 to 5 days of attendance at the university. The remaining time is available for the practical transfer with a practice partner or as a self-study phase. Our goal with this innovative, practice-integrated study model is to make it possible for you to combine your studies, professional activities and family very well, despite full-time study.
If you already have relevant work experience in this field, you can shorten your studies to 2 years / 4 semesters. You will then enter directly into the 3rd semester. We would be happy to check this possibility at any time on the basis of your application documents. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
During the course of your studies, you can choose between concentrations in nutrition therapy and nutrition counseling.
The nutrition therapy qualifies you to recognize a threatening deficiency, malnutrition, undernutrition or overnutrition at an early stage and to treat it preventively or, in the case of an existing disease, to initiate all necessary measures for an individual therapy and to coordinate the procedure at a scientifically high level of quality with the treating physicians.
This focus thus conveys all the important prerequisites for later being admitted to the recognized certification as a nutritionist with one of the associations (DGE, QUETHEB, VFED, VDOE).
The focus here is on prevention: You show people how a healthy diet, exercise and a conscious lifestyle can prevent the development of diseases or positively influence their course. In addition, you give nutritional recommendations to people in different life situations and deal with questions about the nutritional behavior of the individual.
Thus, this focus provides all the important prerequisites to later be admitted to the recognized certification as a nutritionist at one of the associations (DGE, QUETHEB, VFED, VDOE).
