Programme summary
Nutrition and Health focuses on the role of dietary and lifestyle factors in human health and disease. This role is studied from a biomedical perspective at the individual and population levels. In addition, the mechanisms underlying beneficial and adverse effects are studied at the sub-cellular (DNA), cellular and organ/organism levels.

Human nutrition is a multidisciplinary field of expertise. To solve problems in nutrition and health, one must consider chemical and biochemical characteristics, physiological and biomedical aspects, the social and behavioural context of nutrition, and the relationships between these factors. Solving problems in this domain requires multidisciplinary biomedical knowledge and skills as well as an interdisciplinary approach to communication with experts in human nutrition, other fields and laypersons.

Your future career
Surveys show that our graduates greatly value the research skills they acquired in the programme. Many of them began working after graduation as researchers (38%) or PhD students (7%). Another group became advisors (13%), trainers or took up other jobs in the private sector. The majority of graduates found employment at universities (including university medical centres), research institutes (TNO Nutrition or RIVM), in the public sector (national, regional and local governments, Netherlands Nutrition Centre, District Health Authorities) or companies involved with nutrition, pharmacology and toxicology (Unilever, Nutricia, Numico Research, Novartis Pharma, Organon). As graduates progress in their careers they usually advance to the managerial level.
