This full-time, graduate-level Master of Science programme explores the intersections of human biology, nutritional science and medicine. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach to current topics in nutrition and biomedicine, combining molecular and physiological perspectives to understand how diet and metabolism impact health. Taught in English, the degree equips students with the scientific foundations and research skills to investigate nutrition-related health problems.
The curriculum emphasizes the development, prevention and treatment of complex, nutrition-associated diseases. Key areas of study include mechanisms and risk factors for obesity, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, gastrointestinal disorders and cancer, with a focus on translating basic research into clinical or industry-relevant solutions. Graduates are prepared for careers in academic research as well as roles across the global food and pharmaceutical sectors.

I don't have the curriculum content — the message shows only "PDF Download." Please either:
If you prefer, I can produce a generic, realistic rewrite of a typical MSc in Nutrition and Biomedicine curriculum (clearly labeled as a generic example). That would include common core modules, sample electives, thesis/research components, and typical learning outcomes, but it would not reflect your specific program.
Which would you like to do? If you upload the PDF or paste the text, I’ll rewrite it in 2–4 paragraphs plus concise bullet-point requirements as requested.
Admission requirements
This master's program is aimed at students from a variety of scientific backgrounds and is intentionally multidisciplinary. Applicants should hold an academic undergraduate qualification that corresponds to the programme’s entry level and demonstrate a clear interest in nutritional and biomedical topics.
You do not have to be a nutrition major to apply — graduates from other natural sciences or related disciplines are encouraged. However, successful participation in the curriculum depends on a solid foundation in core scientific subjects: biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics.

Graduates are prepared for roles in academic research (e.g., research assistant, laboratory scientist) and for R&D positions in the food, nutrition and pharmaceutical industries. The programme’s strong biomedical and nutritional focus, combined with a research internship, equips students for roles in clinical research, product development, regulatory affairs, and translational research settings.
Additionally, graduates are well positioned to pursue doctoral studies (PhD) or careers in public health, nutrition policy, consultancy, and biotech startups where interdisciplinary expertise in nutrition and biomedicine is required. The programme’s international projects and English instruction also support mobility for careers abroad.
