Intro

The increasing demands for more specialised health services on the Maltese health care system due to an increasingly ageing population means that the country’s healthcare system requires more qualified health care professionals (including nutritionists and dieticians) to meet the increasing demands.

Malta Leadership Institute’s M.Sc. Applied Nutrition & Dietetics enables interested participants to pursue a full Masters Degree on a part-time basis.

Through this Master’s programme, students will be able to explore various nutrition topics (such as healthy diets, disease prevention, medical anthropology etc), discuss ethical and psychological issues and delve into specialised areas of nutrition and dietetics.
