Message from the Department Head
While the branch of nutrition studies the physiological and metabolic processes of nutrients in the body, dietetics is a branch of science that works on the prevention and treatment of diseases. These two branches of science cannot be considered separately and, unlike international Nutrition and Dietetics education, these two fields are given together as "Nutrition and Dietetics" in undergraduate education in Türkiye.
The aim of the Nutrition and Dietetics Department is to train "Dietitians" who, at the end of a 4-year undergraduate education, provide adequate and balanced nutrition to individuals and society in order to protect, improve and develop the health of individuals and society throughout life and to increase the quality of life, who are in line with the qualifications determined within the framework of international professional standards, who have scientific and ethical values in the light of universal values, who research and apply.
As the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at Istanbul Atlas University, our biggest difference is our well-equipped academic staff. In addition, our students at Istanbul Atlas University have the opportunity to put into practice the theoretical training they receive throughout their education and training thanks to our various laboratories such as Nutrition Principles, Anthropometry and Food Chemistry. They also graduate well-equipped thanks to their internships at Atlas University Hospital.
