Overview

The core competencies taught in the Global Food, Nutrition and Health programme of the University of Bayreuth enable our graduate Master's students to understand and solve problems in the field of global food, nutrition and health from an integrative, interdisciplinary perspective. To this end, the programme has an interdisciplinary structure and combines a focus on international nutrition and health sciences with (nutritional) medical, political, sociological and economic aspects.

Fields of Employment

In these areas there is a discernible and constantly growing need, which is developing due to the importance of food and health security worldwide in the face of regional and global crises, climate change and the increase in diet-related, non-communicable diseases.
