Testimony

The Master in Consumer Sciences and Nutrition is a fundamental tool for improving skills, consolidating, and deepening knowledge, and complementing my basic training, a degree in Nutrition Sciences from FCNAUP. At the time, my professional activity was primarily focussed on nutritional marketing and consumer communication, so the comprehensive and at the same time in-depth curricular structure of topics related to consumer sciences undoubtedly met my expectations and needs as a professional and contributed decisively to my professional enrichment and development. On the other hand, the contact with new experiences in the scientific field was equally important new work prospects.
