Composition of degree programme

Studies are offered in the form of modules comprising 4 hours/week per semester. Modules are finished with exams. The marks achieved in the individual exams add up to the final grade. This degree programme consists of 15 core modules (compulsory), 13 specialisation modules (elective) and a Bachelor's dissertation. This structure allows students to specialise in a varied range of individual directions on the basis of sound scientific training in the fundamentals.

Specialisation modules

The following specialisation modules could be chosen, for example:

• Nutrition Therapy;
• Age-specific Nutrition and Dietetics;
• Supply and Catering Management;
• Consumer Behaviour and Counseling;
• Business Operations, Market Theory and Consumer Policy.

Pracitical application

Students may undertake a 9-week work placement (12 credit points) during their studies, allowing them to familiarise themselves with the realities of the professional sphere and help them find an area in which to specialise. The Placements Office maintains a database of suitable companies and institutions.

Bachelor's dissertation

Almost half of the study time in the sixth semester is allotted to writing a dissertation. In the Bachelor's dissertation, students are expected to show within a limited time that they are capable of independent academic work.
