Study Plans

The undergraduate programme in Dietistic, after deepening the basic chemical-physical, biological and psychological knowledge, includes courses related to the commodity composition of foods, food hygiene and safety, the structure and function of nutrients and their intervention in cellular metabolism, as well as, of course, the knowledge of the anatomical structure and function of organs and systems of the human body. During the second and third year of the programme, theoretical and practical information on nutrition and eating behavior is provided in order to prevent and intervene in the treatment of current diseases related to an incorrect diet. In addition, internship activities gradually lead to dealing with increasingly complex nutritional situations.

 

ECTS

To obtain the degree, 180 university credits (ECTS) are required. As a rule, 60 ECTS are acquired each year with assessment tests both for the courses and for the other supplementary forms of teaching. An equal number of ECTS is assigned to each course for all students. The grade (expressed in thirtieths) varies according to the student's level of preparation. The final grade, which includes the evaluation of the final exam, is expressed in one hundred and tenths.
