The Department of Nutrition enables qualified graduates to face day-to-day challenges and requirements of working and scientific life by providing and enhancing the graduates’ abilities with all nutritional knowledge and practices required by the labour market. The number of the department’s students has notably grown in recent years, reaching more than 600 students over the past ten years.

Due to the increased demand for its graduates, the Department of Nutrition has recently introduced a master’s program in nutrition and food of both thesis-based and course-based degrees.
