Bachelor in Nutrition and Dietetics

Nutrition and Dietetics studies the relationship between diet, health, and disease, and how nutritional science can be applied to individual and public health. Coursework typically covers human nutrition, biochemistry, food science, clinical dietetics, community nutrition, and nutritional assessment, combined with supervised clinical or community practice. Students learn to evaluate nutritional needs across different populations and life stages, and to design dietary interventions for conditions ranging from chronic disease management to sports performance. Graduates pursue careers as registered dietitians in hospitals, clinics, and community health settings, as well as roles in food industry consulting, public health nutrition, and sports nutrition. The field also connects with areas such as food science and public health, where nutrition knowledge supports broader efforts in health promotion and disease prevention.

İstanbul, Turkey's largest city, hosts the faculty delivering this program toward the bachelor's degree.
