Characteristics of Learning
Study a broad range of fields related to food and health over four years
Over four years, students will study a broad range of fields from the basics to application, in areas such as nutrition, food products and food preparation, public health, public nutrition, medicine and biochemistry, nutritional education, school meal business management, and food manufacture, distribution, and services.
Course structure that equips students with practical skills
With a course structure that combines lectures, exercises, and experiments or practicums, students will acquire the theory, knowledge, skills, and application abilities in a phased approach. They will also have the opportunity to undertake step-up education for extra learning.
Cultivate the understanding for others and cooperative abilities needed in nutritionists and registered dietitians
Through co-education and interaction with other departments offering diverse studies, students will develop an understanding of others and the ability to communicate and cooperate.
Major Initiatives
Support for extra learning that takes advantage of qualifications
Three new subjects have been added to support students with extra learning to match their individual interests and ambitions, so they can draw closer to the image they have for their future. The three new subjects are Food Product Development Theory, Challenge Program, and Advanced Nutrition Research. Students are also supported in studies beyond the department.
Close support by faculties
Faculties from a broad range of specializations act as class teachers and advisors, providing a range of support, including advising on their studies and job searches, and conducting special courses, running for more than 200 hours a year, to prepare students to pass the National Examination for Registered Dietitians.
