Online Master's Programme
Unlock the science behind diet-disease relationships in our fully online, part-time MSc. You will: become an epidemiologist able to design observational and intervention studies; analyse the aetiology of diet-related diseases from biomedical, behavioural and clinical perspectives; and study ~20 hours per week alongside a multinational cohort. A ‘WUR week’ on campus in year two strengthens your network and prepares you for thesis research. All while you continue your career from anywhere in the world.
Online Master's Nutritional Epidemiology and Public Health

Online Master's Courses
Looking for specific expertise without committing to the full master’s? Choose stand-alone online courses to deepen targeted skills. Each course is delivered fully online and part-time, awards ECTS credits on completion, and can later be counted towards the MSc, giving you maximum flexibility in building your learning pathway.
