Course description

The aim of the Public Health Nutrition (MPHN) program at University of Eastern Finland is to provide expertise for working on public health nutrition-related research, development and projects.

Public Health Nutrition is closely related to public health and clinical nutrition, which are among the major subjects taught at the university.

Public Health Nutrition focuses on the promotion of good health and the maintenance of well-being through nutrition among the whole population. The prevention of dietary-related illnesses is also emphasised. Students will learn how nutrition promotes well-being in different life stages, and how it affects the risk of chronic diseases, how to plan public health nutrition interventions, and how food and nutrition policies affect food environment and consumption, among other things.
