The Programme comprises a combination of one obligatory course and several optional courses, which can be undertaken in succession or with interruptions, i.e. a so-called sandwich programme. The selection is depending on the individual student s profile. This has to be agreed upon with the Department on admission to the Programme. The designation of this kind of assignment can differ from country to country. The extent of the in-depth study depends on previous training.
Supervisors have to sanction to the feasibility of all planned research work.
For each course successfully completed at Uppsala University, the participant will receive a certificate. After having gained the necessary credits, the Master's Degree is awarded upon application. The precise titles of Swedish Master's Degrees in general are currently under reconsideration. The provisional title of the Degree is Master of Science in Nutrition. All teaching and tuition is free of charge.
