ABOUT PROGRAMME

The Dietetics (Bachelor’s level) programme at Vistula School of Hospitality is unique on a national scale.

BENEFITS OF STUDYING DIETETICS

Reliable diagnostics

You will learn how to assess the impact of particular food ingredients on the human body, its physical shape, performance, mental shape, overall mood and skin.

An individual approach

You will be able to offer your clients an individual approach, by selecting dietary ingredients tailored to their needs, goals, and customs, as well as nationality. You will also learn how to identify and correct nutrition mistakes.

Professional skills

You will learn about various food processing technologies, and how to compose meals to achieve the required nutritional value. In addition, the School is constructing a professional laboratory for chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology courses, utilising specialist equipment.

Practical knowledge

You will learn how to improve the quality of life of other people by changing their diets. We also teach best practices, when it comes to working with clients, which ensures that, after graduation, you will be able to easily strike a rapport. You will be able to critically assess the effectiveness of various dietary plans – you will learn which of the ‘flavour-of-the-month’ diets actually work. One day, maybe, you will design your own diet! Additionally, you will have the opportunity to participate in scientific conferences, which will award you with “participation certificates” confirming your newly-gained skills.

EXPERTISE

Studying at Vistula School of Hospitality will provide you with the knowledge necessary to quickly become an expert on dietetics.

Our Dietetics programme will allow you to pursue one of two sub-majors: Dietetics for the physically active, or Dietetic counselling.
