University of Primorska – Faculty of Health Sciences (Dietetics)
Izola, SloveniaPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟢 Strong overlap in basic sciences and core nutrition; clinical/artificial-nutrition courses lack an English equivalent
English-taught programme: First-cycle 'Nutritional counselling – Dietetics' (FVZ). The faculty publishes an official 2026/2027 list of subjects offered in English to exchange students (mostly via individual consultations in EN). ~31 Dietetics subjects available in English, covering chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, food science/technology and applied nutrition.
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.
