In the clinical field, Dieticians process and formulate the personalised diets that doctors prescribe to patients, monitoring their implementation and effectiveness; they collaborate to the treatment of eating disorders; process the composition of food rations and menus to meet the nutritional needs of population groups; take care of catering services (canteens, residential facilities); carry out educational activities to promote proper lifestyles; carry out research activities. Dieticians carry out their profession independently and in a responsible manner, working as self-employed professionals or employees, in healthcare (clinics, hospitals) and non-healthcare facilities (local authorities, catering companies, food industries, schools, sports centres), both public and private. The Bachelor's Degree in Dietetics enables students to access the Master's Degree Programme in Health professions for technical assistance (Class LM/SNT-3) and in Nutrition (Class LM-61), Specialisation Programmes and Vocational Master Programmes (1st level).
