What does your education look like?
The first year is broad. You'll learn to guide various target groups toward a healthier lifestyle, with nutrition as the central theme. A healthy lifestyle is the core of this and your goal. In the second and third years, you'll delve deeper into the themes and choose your target group. This program covers: nutrition and behavior, fitness with food, nutrition and education, budgeting, education and nutrition, business and lifestyle, behavior and lifestyle, menu engineering, and sustainability.
During your studies, you'll collaborate extensively with fellow students on projects. These projects are always related to one of the themes. We'll show you how the field works through several excursions and company assignments. You'll give numerous presentations, both individually and in small groups. In the first year, you'll do an internship in the second half of the school year. Year 1 has a longer internship period. In the third year, you'll begin school and conclude with a 2-week graduation project.
You can follow this course in two places: at Yuverta (formerly Helicon) in Helmond or at Summa in Eindhoven.
