Nutrition and Health (MNH) / MSc
MSc Gemeenschappelijk gedeelte
Common Part
For all specialisations, students should have succesfully completed the RO-0 courses and mandatory prerequisites before they can start with their first thesis or internship. The common part is NOT applicable for students choosing specialisation D Sensory Science!
Choose one cluster from RO1A, RO1B or RO1C:
- RO1A is a part of the educational variant (only open to Dutch students);
- In RO1B YMC-60303 can be replaced by YMC-60306, in consultation with the study adviser;
- RO1C can only be selected by those students that meet the professional competencies from RO1B based on prior education and/or professional career, to be decided by the MSc-programme-team. For RO1C the options for MOS-modules are limited to those that include reflective learning. In RO1C an additional MSc-level course has to be added to reach the total of 120 ECTS-credits.
In consultation with the study adviser, students either choose an internship from RO2 or a second thesis. Such a second thesis should be at least 24 credits and selected from one of the chairgroups HNE, HAP, TOX, COM or CBI. In general students with a professional Bachelor degree should opt for a second thesis. Students with an academic Bachelor degree should opt for an internship from RO2. In individual cases, based on the content of thesis research and in consultation with the study adviser, another chairgroup can offer the specialisation-specific thesis. As an alternative for RO2, ECS-70424 can be chosen as part of the educational variant (only open to Dutch students).
