Food and Nutrition degree program becomes even more modern
From the summer semester 2025, Albstadt-Sigmaringen University of Applied Sciences will be offering a Bachelor's degree in Applied Nutrition and Food Sciences. It is aimed at anyone who is interested in topics such as healthy nutrition and wants to play an active role in shaping the world of food.
Developing innovative food, promoting health, advancing sustainable production: From the coming summer semester, Albstadt-Sigmaringen University of Applied Sciences will be offering a Bachelor's degree course in Applied Nutrition and Food Sciences. It is aimed at anyone who is interested in topics such as healthy nutrition and wants to play an active role in shaping the world of food. Students immerse themselves in exciting laboratory experiments and learn, among other things, how new products are created.
"You will acquire in-depth knowledge in the areas of food safety, hygiene, nutritional physiology, food technology and quality management," explains Prof. Dr. Carola Pickhardt, Dean of the Faculty of Life Sciences. The course is supplemented by insights into sustainable nutritional concepts and modern production processes under aseptic conditions, says Dean of Studies Prof. Dr. Philipp Heindl. "Thanks to our practice-oriented teaching, students have excellent career prospects in many different areas - for example in nutritional advice, in food product development or with equipment manufacturers, in medical or food hygiene, in quality management and much more."
Applied Nutrition and Food Sciences is the successor to the previous Food, Nutrition, Hygiene degree course. What is new is that students no longer have to choose a specialization from the fourth semester onwards - however, they can still specialize in elective areas. In the sixth semester, for example, students can opt for the new module Nutrition and Health Promotion. "This is in line with the fact that experience has shown that our students are most interested in this subject area," explains Philipp Heindl. For this reason, the basic module "Food and Nutrition" will also be offered in the first semester in future: "We want to increase identification with the course right from the start."
Further information: The application deadline for the summer semester is always January 15, for the winter semester July 15. The standard period of study is seven semesters and comprises basic and main studies, an internship semester and the Bachelor's thesis.
