Nutritional Sciences

The international Master of Science in Nutritional Sciences at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem prepares students to become leading professionals in the field of nutritional sciences and to apply their newly aquired knowledge to nutritional challenges in their home countries.  

The one-yearMaster of Science in Nutritional Sciences at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem leads to a non-thesis M.Sc. in Nutritional Sciences. After successful completion of the first year, qualified graduates may submit a request to be reviewed for admission to the thesis track for a second year of studies to earn a thesis degree, and continue for a PhD degree either in Israel or elsewhere.

Following graduation, the majority of alumni return to their home countries, where they hold key positions in health and nutrition promotion, education, academics, research, NGOs and government organizations.
