Bachelor in Nutrition and Dietetics

For Bachelor in Nutrition and Dietetics, the tuition fee is 5,100 USD per year.

Nutrition and Dietetics is a health sciences program focused on the relationship between food, nutrition, and human health. Students typically study human physiology and biochemistry, food science, clinical nutrition, community nutrition, and dietary planning, learning how to assess nutritional needs and design dietary interventions for individuals and groups. The curriculum often includes practical training in areas such as meal planning for specific medical conditions, public health nutrition programs, and food service management, alongside supervised clinical or community placements. Students learn to evaluate nutritional status, communicate dietary guidance to patients, and apply nutrition science to disease prevention and management. Graduates typically work as dietitians in hospitals, clinics, public health organizations, sports nutrition settings, or the food industry, and some continue into further specialized or graduate study. At Istanbul Kent University in Istanbul, Turkey, this program is taught in English over four years at a private university, combining scientific coursework with applied dietetic practice. The program structure builds from foundational biomedical and food science courses toward clinical and community nutrition practice as students progress through the four years. Istanbul's hospital and public health networks provide opportunities for practical exposure to dietetic work in varied settings. By graduation, students have developed the scientific knowledge and practical skills needed to assess nutrition needs and support health outcomes through diet, preparing them for professional practice or further study in nutrition and dietetics.
