Executive Bachelor Study Program in Nutrition and Food Service Management

This bachelor study program is a professionally structured academic pathway designed to develop strong competencies in nutrition management, food service operations, dietary planning, and institutional catering administration. It is aligned with EQF Level 6 and corresponds to the First European Cycle, with a total academic workload equivalent to 60 ECTS.

This bachelor study program is designed for individuals who aim to manage food service institutions, supervise nutrition programs, coordinate large-scale catering operations, and ensure quality, safety, and sustainability within food environments.

The academic journey begins with a foundational module introducing students to online education systems and digital learning environments, ensuring readiness for flexible and technology-driven study. A dedicated module on the basics of Artificial Intelligence explores how AI technologies are transforming nutrition analytics, menu planning optimization, food inventory management, demand forecasting, and quality monitoring systems.

To strengthen analytical and academic capabilities, the curriculum includes an Introduction to Research Methods, enabling students to conduct nutrition-related studies, analyze dietary trends, evaluate food service performance, and apply evidence-based management strategies.

Two general modules related to the study field provide essential foundations in management principles, food safety standards, hospitality basics, organizational behavior, and operational planning.

The specialization component consists of three focused modules in Nutrition and Food Service Management, covering areas such as institutional food service management, clinical and community nutrition concepts, menu design and cost control, food safety and hygiene systems, supply chain coordination, sustainability in food services, and quality assurance practices. Emphasis is placed on real-world case studies, regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and service excellence.

The academic pathway concludes with a Bachelor Project and structured research activities, where students apply nutrition knowledge and management tools to design or evaluate a real food service or nutrition program initiative, demonstrating integration of scientific understanding, operational management, and strategic planning.

The standard duration is 12+ months, with a defined minimum study period. However, the program offers flexibility, allowing students to extend their studies based on professional or personal commitments.

This executive-format bachelor study program is particularly suitable for food service managers, nutrition coordinators, catering supervisors, healthcare food administrators, hospitality professionals, and individuals seeking structured academic advancement while continuing their careers. It emphasizes nutritional responsibility, operational excellence, food safety compliance, sustainability, digital innovation, and research-driven service improvement.
