The following focus areas are offered: Behavioural Change, Sustainable Consumption, Nutritional Medicine or Quality Assurance in Food Supply. Nutritional topics such as human nutrition or the analysis and evaluation of biochemical processes in the human organism are included in the curriculum, as are psychological, economic and sociological approaches to the topic of nutrition.
