Composition of the Study Programme 2

  • Specialised Biochemistry

  • Practical Course in Nutritional Physiology
  • Nutrition and Metabolism
  • Food Science
  • Pathophysiology and Nutritional Medicine
  • Food Technology and Molecular Cuisine
  • Applied Nutritional Medicine

 

Individual Profile

Developing an individual profile plays a major role in the course. Our students decide for themselves whether they wish to acquire a broad, all-round knowledge or would prefer to specialise, and whether they would like their course to be more practice-oriented or more academic and theoretical. The specialisation modules can be chosen from the full range of courses offered by Department 09 or even from other departments at JLU.

By selecting specific specialisation modules, students may acquire the following area of specialisation, as stated on the degree certificate:

  • Nutritional Medicine

The specific specialisation modules required for the area of specialisation are listed in Annex 4 of the Special Regulations.

 

Work Placement (optional) (6 or 12 CP)

The programme offers a voluntary work placement that enables our students to gain an initial insight into the various areas of professional activity in which they hope to pursue in the future. The work placement also enables them to collect hands-on professional experience and establish contacts with potential employers. The variety of contacts that our faculty possesses allows us to provide expert support to students seeking a work placement.

The work placement module replaces one (6 CP) or two (12 CP) profile modules.

 

Profile modules

Broad, all-round knowledge or specialisation – both are possible. It’s up to our students; they put together their own course of study based on their individual interests, drawing on the full range of what we have to offer. From a selection of over 120 modules, students can choose specialisation modules from topics such as the following:

  • Human nutrition
  • Dietetics
  • Biochemistry and molecular biology
  • Nutritional medicine and therapy
  • Nutrition and the immune system
  • Food sciences
  • Molecular nutrition research
  • Communication and counselling
  • Nutritional and environmental psychology
  • Consumer behaviour
  • Market theory
  • Agricultural, food and environmental policy
  • Business administration

Modules from other research areas within the department may also be chosen, e.g. agricultural production and its impact on the environment, applied microbiology, soil science, insect biotechnology, crop production and breeding, and animal husbandry.

You can find the exact names and descriptions of the profile modules on the  Modules page.
