Bachelor in Nutrition and Dietetics

Nutrition and Dietetics examines how food and diet affect human health across the lifespan, combining biology, chemistry, and clinical practice. Coursework typically covers human anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, food science, community nutrition, clinical dietetics, and nutrition education, alongside practical training in meal planning and dietary assessment. Students learn to evaluate nutritional needs for different populations, from infants to older adults, and to address conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease through diet. Graduates commonly work as dietitians in hospitals, clinics, public health agencies, sports organizations, and the food industry, or continue into postgraduate study in nutrition science. The field also intersects with food safety, agricultural policy, and public health campaigns aimed at improving population-level eating habits. This bachelor's program is delivered in English over a duration of 4 years at Istanbul Aydın University, located in İstanbul, Turkey. Students benefit from instruction conducted entirely in English, which supports both academic development and international mobility after graduation. The curriculum is structured to build from foundational science courses toward more applied, practice-based training as students progress through the 4-year sequence. By combining scientific grounding with hands-on clinical exposure, the program prepares graduates for licensure and professional practice in nutrition and dietetics roles across healthcare and food-related sectors.
