Thomas More University of Applied Sciences (Campus Geel)
Geel, BelgiumPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟡 Limited academic overlap – the English exchange offer at Geel is mostly work placements and generic skills modules, not subject-content lecture courses; strongest fit is placements + evidence-based dietetics
English-taught programme: Thomas More Geel offers English exchange places in Nutrition & Dietetics and adjacent life-science programmes, but the subject theory (food chemistry, biochemistry, clinical nutrition, physiology, microbiology) is taught in Dutch. For incoming students the English catalogue is dominated by clinical/food-company work placements (20-30 ECTS), an evidence-based dietetics module, a nutrition health-promotion project, plus skills and international/COIL modules. Autumn (Sep-Dec) is the main dietetics window.
