Programme Nutritional Epidemiology and Public Health

The online master's specialisation is designed for part time study (approx. 20 hrs/week) to combine work and study in the context of Life-Long-Learning. A course-programme of 2 years will be followed by a tailor-made internship and master's thesis. During the courses you will closely collaborate with lecturers, tutors and fellow distance learning students on a virtual learning platform. The course programme includes a short stay of one week on Wageningen Campus together with all other students in this programme. There may be options to organise the academic internship and master's thesis in your own professional context, either part-time or full-time.
