Laurea in Scienze della Nutrizione

The division offers four courses (Clinical Laboratory Technology, Home Economics Teaching, Health & Sports Nutrition, and Food Safety Management), aiming to go beyond conventional nutritionist studies in food and nutrition to develop new types of a nutritionist who combine these conventional studies with additional studies in a specialist field.

The division cultivates highly skilled professionals who can fulfill the diverse needs of modern-day society. They include clinical laboratory technicians who can work as part of nutritional support teams in hospitals and clinics, home economics teachers who nurture independent members of society by teaching about food, health, and sports nutritionists who help to improve health and fitness, and personnel responsible for food product development who help to maintain and enhance public health by managing food safety.

The ideal student wants to work in:

Healthcare or medicine as a clinical laboratory technician with specialist expertise in nutrition

Teaching as a home economics teacher with specialist expertise in dietary education

Health advisory services as a nutritionist with specialist expertise in exercise (i.e., sport)

Corporate business, pursuing an interest in food product development and safety management

Provide support for students to become specialized in nutrition, health, and food, which are closely interlinked, and help translate the knowledge they acquire into practical skills in order to contribute to the wellbeing of the general public.
