Program and structure of studies
FIRST CYCLE STUDIES
(BACHELOR'S DEGREE)
The study program covers issues related to the understanding and practical use of knowledge in the field of dietetics in various spheres of professional activity.
Online studies for the Dietetics course
In the Dietetics course, a small number of hours of classes during the whole study must take place at the university, because of the necessity for students to get practical laboratory skills. The schedule will be planned in such a way that these classes will be held once for the whole 3-year course of studies, in a block lasting about one week. The dates of this block of classes will be planned and announced well in advance of each year of study, so that the student will be able to choose a convenient time to take part in such classes.
FIRST

The first year of studies is dominated by subjects in the field of basic medicine and clinical sciences, providing students with knowledge and basic skills necessary for specialists dealing with broadly understood health issues – including dietitians. They are the foundation for a scientific understanding of the functioning and biology of the human body. As part of the program, the first year will also include a number of classes devoted to basic issues in the field of dietetics as a medical science.
