The Master's Degree Course in Bio-Sciences for Food, Nutrition and Health (BANS) trains experts with advanced biological skills and is characterized by a solid educational curriculum e interdisciplinary, which integrates advanced skills in the field of biosciences applied to food, nutrition and health promotion.
From the early stages of the process, particular attention is paid to understanding the mechanisms biological, biochemical and physiological at the basis of nutritional and metabolic processes, with an approach oriented towards prevention and well-being.
The progressive integration between basic disciplines, characterising teachings and applied activities allows the student to develop a systemic vision and updated on the interactions between food, nutrition and health, promoting the development of advanced scientific and methodological skills and the construction of a highly qualified professional profile.
The study plan is designed without preparatory exams and includes two curricula: "Human Nutrition" e “Feeding the world.” In this last curriculum, some of the courses are taught in English.
The program includes a mandatory English language course and the opportunity to participate in international mobility programs, including Erasmus+, with recognition of training activities (including internships) undertaken abroad.
Il first year It is aimed at deepening advanced knowledge in biosciences applied to food and nutrition, with particular reference to biochemical mechanisms, physiological and molecular involved in the nutritional, metabolic and health maintenance processes.
Il second year It is aimed at integrating and applying the skills acquired, with a focus on specialist areas related to human nutrition: from the various pathologies connected with power, food safety and quality, to the prevention and promotion of health.
The second year also includes a synthesis of the theoretical and practical contents learned through curricular internships, as well as the development of critical analysis, planning and scientific research skills, culminating in the preparation of the final exam.
The course also enhances continuous updating
technological innovation and achievement comparison with international scientific literature, promoting the development of transversal skills and planning autonomy.
