Bachelor in dietetics

Contents :

The course takes place over 3 years. Each year equates to 60 ECTS credits spread over approximately 800 hours of teaching activities.

-        In the first year, the focus is on basic theory classes, aimed at providing a solid scientific foundation as well as an introduction to basic practices.

-        In the second year, theoretical classes move onto more specialised subjects and the practical work becomes more like the work carried out in the profession.

In the third year, a large part of the time is devoted to placements within professional organisations. In addition to these placements, activities such as special focus courses, seminars, an introduction to current issues and specialised practical tasks are also organised.
