The subjects are based on the latest scientific findings and provide both theoretical and practical knowledge. During the Nutritional Sciences programme from Szechenyi Istvan University, students acquire advanced nutritional expertise, with the option to specialise in preventive, therapeutic, or sports nutrition, as well as in food science. 

They study the physiological and biochemical processes of human nutrition in depth, including the epigenetic background, the role of the microbiome, and the consumption of fermented food ingredients. Nutrition-related disorders, the evaluation of body composition, the analysis of foods, and the functional mechanisms of food ingredients are also covered in detail.
