Study content and procedure
The six-semester study programme full-time study builds on the training in the vocational schools for dietetic assistance (dietetic schools). As 45 ECTS from the training are recognised to you, you can complete the study programme in four to five semesters, depending on the extent of your previous professional experience. Modules from the fields of dietetics and nutrition science, dietary counselling, health care, social, cultural and economic sciences are studied.
The professional practical semester can be completed at a recognised institution from the entire spectrum of dietetics and linked to the Bachelor thesis. The online elective modules also offer flexibility for stays abroad.
