The mix of the best multimedia resources and the most innovative methodology on the planet will be the perfect cocktail to broaden your knowledge of Physiology of Nutrition”

The physiology of human nutrition is a fundamental subject in the study of health sciences, as it provides an understanding of the mechanisms by which the body processes and utilises the nutrients it obtains from the food it has ingested. Therefore, this Postgraduate Certificate program aims to provide students with a solid understanding of the key concepts and definitions in this area, as well as the processes of digestion, absorption and bioavailability of nutrients.

During the course of the degree, students will have the opportunity to delve deeper into elements related to the stages of the digestive system, as well as the analysis of the processes of digestion and absorption of the different groups of nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. In this way, the student will achieve a specialised knowledge of the food sources and recommended intakes of these nutrients, with the aim of being able to establish dietary education guidelines.

All this, through the innovative Relearning methodology, which allows education to be delivered 100% online, a benefit that will give students the opportunity to study from home and organise their learning schedules, since they will have access to multimedia resources 24 hours a day. In addition, you will strengthen your professional skills and problem-solving capacity, as you will analyse practical cases that will help you to place yourself in a real-life scenario.
