Student review [#20109] for Nutrition and Health
at Wageningen University

I decided to join the Online Master’s in Nutritional Epidemiology and Public Health, offered part-time, from Wageningen University and Research (WUR) after carefully reading their course program and the reviews from former and current students because even knowing about the great reputation of WUR I wasn’t completely about how attending a Master’s program fully online would be.

I’m still in my first semester but I can say that the courses were extremely well thought so the same quality of the in-campus course would be achieved. There is immense interaction between students and the docent team. The course also offers great flexibility, the clips and materials are always available at the beginning of each period so you can administrate your time as it better suits your needs. I have many colleagues working part-time and/or with small children so the format gives opportunities to people in different stages of their lives to continue their studies.

I personally, still miss being able to meet my colleagues in person and visit the university building more often, but the format allows me to study in WUR without having to move to the city of Wageningen, and considering the situation we are still living in (covid-19 pandemic), we don’t have to adapt our studies every time new measures take place.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this program to someone who needs flexibility and can self-manage their time.
