The professional profile of the study program is the clinical nutrition of the metabolism. It builds upon the basic medical education and Master's study program Nutrition Specialist (clinical nutritional therapist), which is accredited by the faculty. The goal of the doctoral study program Nutritional and Metabolic Sciences is the training of specialists with deep knowledge of nutrition and metabolism. This includes knowledge from wide areas of clinical nutrition, diets, metabolism, physiological and pathophysiological effects of nutrients, including deep knowledge of their properties.

PhD by research via Distance Learning is awarded after successfully completing a theoretical research specialization. This research is presented in the form of a doctoral thesis. The PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is the only doctoral degree that can be achieved through distance learning. The main requirement for a PhD online through distance learning is to present and discuss a thesis of at least 100 pages for review and evaluation by an academic committee at Selinus University. Research in this area of ​​food science should provide data on how to provide the world's population with safe, nutritious, appetizing and affordable food. Achieving this goal requires an in-depth study of the issues of processing, packaging, distribution and evaluation of food. It involves many disciplines and uses the principles of biology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, biochemistry, nutrition, physics and engineering to solve practical problems related to the food industry. Food scientists were among the first to work with biotechnology. Food scientists work with food from the moment it leaves the farm to the storage of the final product, including all processing, preparation and distribution operations. In addition, they determine the factors that influence the safety, nutritional value and acceptability of food.

The main requirement for a PhD online through distance learning is to present and discuss a thesis of at least 100 pages for review and evaluation by an academic committee at Selinus University. The candidate for this research program should describe nutrition-based therapies to prevent and treat common diseases and ailments. Every disease, symptom, secretion and pain results from a biochemical imbalance in the body. Therapeutic diets, food and food supplements are used to restore normal physiological functioning and structural integrity of the body and its organs. Providing our cells and tissues with the appropriate quantity, frequency and quality of micronutrients will restore the biochemical balance from which health and well-being arise. The thesis should develop original research by implementing, if possible, new research methods.

International PhD in Food Engineering and Biotechnology The purpose of this International PhD programme is to train a new generation of globally renowned researchers to apply approaches of engineering and biotechnology to food processing by giving them the opportunities to transfer and exchange knowledge with national and international research centers and industries.

Be a leader that be able to effectively manage a problem and suitable perform with professional ethics. Eager to learn with life-long manner to develop themselved and the organization continuously and be able to work with others with different cultures. Be able to design and manage research in food science and technology in creatively systematically and sustainable manner.

Note: Additional modules may be required in order to reach the desired level of competency

Ph.D. in Food Science

The globalization of the economy and the food market make technology and Food Safety an issue of general interest influenced by numerous factors. The effective protection of the right to food security requires a comprehensive approach that considers the risks associated with food from farm to table, and that considers all possible perspectives. It also takes into account in a very particular way the growing importance of nutritional risks, given the worrying prevalence of obesity today and mainly in children and adolescents.

The University of Western States Doctor of Clinical Nutrition (DCN) degree is a two-year 100% online program that includes 65 quarter credits with emphasis on developing stronger clinical skills while encompassing a broader range of conditions and therapies. Faculty of the program come from a variety of nutrition backgrounds and are highly respected in the field. The enhanced clinical skillset conferred by the program will enable better realization of a whole-person care approach along with an improved capacity for developing and maintaining a meaningful therapeutic relationship with the patient. Graduates of the UWS DCN program may seek careers as a nutritionist, solo practitioner, health and wellness coach, educator, lecturer, author or within an integrated practice.

Research in this area of food science should provide data on how to provide the world's population with safe, nutritious, appetizing and affordable food. Achieving this goal requires an in-depth study of the issues of processing, packaging, distribution and evaluation of food.

The aim of this programme is to prepare researchers and scholars specialised in nutrition with international standard methodological know-how, autonomy and specific skills in scientific research on food systems.

Throughout the ages, humans have wondered about the connection between nutrition, human health and performance. A research programme in scientific nutrition confirms that health and well-being depend on eating a diet that provides all the vital chemical nutrients to maintain biochemical harmony in the body. Every disease, symptom, discharge and pain indicates a chemical imbalance in the body. The realities of nutrition are based on the type and amount of nutrients in each food that are needed to carry out the chemical reactions necessary to sustain a healthy life.
