Project

This course serves as a capstone course, allowing students to apply the theoretical knowledge and practical skills gained throughout the Mini Master of Nutrition and Food Science program. Students will design and execute a project focused on a key issue in nutrition or food science, such as diet-related diseases, food safety, or nutrition education. The course emphasizes research, data analysis, and problem-solving in the context of current challenges in nutrition and food science. Students will work independently or in teams to develop evidence-based solutions and present their findings in written and oral formats.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Applying Knowledge of Nutrition and Food Science: Students will demonstrate their ability to integrate knowledge of nutrition, food science, and related disciplines to address a specific issue or challenge within the field.
• Designing and Implementing a Research or Practical Project: Learn how to design, plan, and implement a comprehensive project, including defining objectives, conducting research, collecting data, and analyzing results, while applying scientific principles and methodologies.
• Evaluating Nutritional and Food Science Data: Gain proficiency in using research methods and data analysis tools to assess the impact of dietary patterns, food processing, or food safety measures on health outcomes or food systems.
• Communicating Project Findings Effectively: Develop skills in communicating project results through clear, well-organized reports and presentations, using evidence-based conclusions to inform stakeholders, peers, or the public.

These outcomes aim to prepare students for practical application in the fields of nutrition and food science, equipping them with the research, analytical, and communication skills necessary to contribute to improvements in public health, food safety, and nutrition education. The course is designed to bridge academic knowledge with real-world solutions, preparing students for further study or professional careers in the industry.
