Munster Technological University – Nutrition & Health Science
Cork, IrelandPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟢 Strong overlap in nutrition, food science, biochemistry and microbiology; weaker on clinical/dietetics depth
English-taught programme: MTU BSc (Hons) in Nutrition and Health Science (MT876), Dept of Biological Sciences, Cork – 4-year Level 8 honours degree in English. ~6 modules/semester, mostly 5 ECTS each, with a Year 3 Semester 2 work placement. Food-science and biosciences oriented rather than a clinical-dietetics licensing programme, so it lacks dedicated pathology, pharmacology and artificial/clinical nutrition modules.
Potential matches only. This partner currently has no HMU Nutrition & Dietetics students / no recognised courses. The matches below are an indicative assessment by the IRO, based on the partner’s published English programme vs the HMU Nutrition & Dietetics study guide. They must be evaluated and approved by the departmental academic coordinator before any agreement is used.
