The main causes of the morbidity are: poor nutrition, including overeating, lack of care for good food composition, inaccurate and hasty eating, and lifestyle: lack of exercise and excessive stress. So how should we eat to stay healthy and full of energy? How to help a person who already suffers from this type of disease? The answer can be given by a dietician – a specialist who has knowledge about proper nutrition, knows the principles of human body functioning and at the same time has therapeutic predispositions.

The expected learning outcomes are not only physical but also psychological. By studying dietetics, you will learn how the human body works and what processes take place in it. You will learn how to design a proper diet for both ill and healthy people, taking into account their genetic characteristics, food intolerances, allergies, lifestyle and private preferences. You will gain knowledge about designing and conducting technological processes used in food production. You will get to know the methods of evaluation of nutrition and diet of young people, adults, elderly people, pregnant women, people practicing different sports and living in different environmental conditions. You will also learn what communication with the patient (and their family) should look like, what to look out for and what to follow when talking to them.

In the course of three years of study you will acquire many new skills – among others, you will learn how to conduct a nutritional interview, give individual and group advice, operate and use special devices designed to identify selected food ingredients and prepare food. You will be able to plan and implement appropriate dietary management in order to prevent and treat diet-related diseases.
