Why is it worth choosing these studies?

In the modern world, people pay more and more attention to a healthy lifestyle, and hence to healthy and conscious nutrition. The correct choice of diet is a factor that affects almost every aspect of human life. Regardless of whether our goal is to lose weight, gain muscle mass, maintain a healthy and youthful appearance,

support the body in the fight against infections, or support the proper development of children, a dietitian is often the first specialist we may ask for help. Dietetics studies offer students the opportunity to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge that will allow them to work in the broad scope of dietetic.

New requirements for visa applications

Note: important information for bachelor’s degree candidates (first-cycle studies)

In line with the new requirements for visa applications introduced by Polish consulates around the world, candidates applying for a student visa are now required to submit a document confirming their eligibility to apply for a bachelor’s degree (first-cycle studies), issued by the Polish Education Superintendent Office (in Polish – Kuratorium Oświaty). Previously, this document could be provided after arrival in Poland, but under the new regulations, it must be submitted along with the visa application. The procedure for master’s degree candidates remains unchanged.

While the new requirement may slightly extend the visa process, the UEHS is fully prepared to support bachelor’s degree candidates throughout this period. To ensure there are no disruptions to their education, candidates who cannot arrive in Poland before the start of classes will be able to participate in lectures online via MS Teams.

We also have developed a range of effective solutions to provide comprehensive assistance in obtaining the required documents. Our support includes:

  • preparing the necessary paperwork
  • certified translations into Polish
  • submitting the application to the Education Superintendent Office
  • promptly ensuring the recognized diploma is sent back to the candidate’s home country.

(European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System)
They end with a
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.
