NOVA University Lisbon – NOVA Medical School (Nutrition Sciences)
Lisbon, PortugalPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟡 Strong curriculum overlap, but English delivery must be confirmed – the BSc is Portuguese-taught and NMS requires a Portuguese B1 (studies) / B2 (traineeship) certificate
English-taught programme: 4-year, 240-ECTS Licenciatura em Ciencias da Nutricao at NOVA Medical School (NMS|FCM). Teaching language is Portuguese; the NMS Erasmus fact sheet mandates a Portuguese-language certificate (B1 study / B2 traineeship), so English-taught delivery is NOT established and must be verified with mobilidade-in@nms.unl.pt before a learning agreement. Curriculum is a comprehensive clinical-nutrition degree (strongest content match of all partners).
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.
