Subject: Nutritional Science

Nutritional science uses scientific methods to investigate the effect and function of food ingredients, the processes involved in food utilization and the mechanisms of action and clarification of the signaling cascades of metabolic processes. With its research findings, it makes a significant contribution to maintaining people's health, performance and well-being.

Bachelor Nutritional Science

Module

  • Food Chemistry
  • Practical course on the basics of nutritional science experimental methods

Master Nutritional Science

Subject: Toxicology

Toxicology seeks to understand the nature and mechanism of adverse effects of toxicants such as those found e.g. in industry, in the household, in food, in medicine and those that occur naturally in the environment. The English-language master’s degree in toxicology at the University of Potsdam prepares you to participate in this field with a particular emphasis to cellular and molecular mechanisms of toxicity and to risk assessment.
