Inter-University Master's Degree in Nutrition and Metabolism - 20th edition

The official Master's in Nutrition and Metabolism is taught jointly between the Rovira i Virgili University and the Universitat de Barcelona, with academic collaboration from the Universitat de les Illes Balears. Additionally, hospitals, research groups, and the food industry are highly involved in the master’s programme.

The master's programme responds to the growing awareness of the importance of the relationship between diet, nutrition, and health, with specialists in the latest advancements in functional foods, clinical nutrition, and research in all areas of nutrition.

This approach gives place to three specialities to choose from:

• Clinical Nutrition: Training of professionals specialized in the relationship between diet and health. In-depth study of artificial nutrition and the main pathologies, intolerances, and allergies related to food, focusing on prevention and nutritional management.

• Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals: Training of professionals specialized in healthy nutritional profiles who design and formulate new foods and nutraceuticals. In-depth study of food composition, bioactive components, and familiarization with legislation and food safety.

• Research: Introduction to the necessary tools to participate in research in basic, clinical, or applied nutrition within multidisciplinary research groups. This speciality helps graduates to start a doctoral programme.

For academic year 2025-26, there are no places available for Clinical Nutrition specialisation.
