Features of the degree program Home Economics and Nutritional Sciences

Home Economics and Nutritional Sciences is an interdisciplinary degree program combining various fields in a comprehensive scientific context. The word 'ecotrophology' is formed from the ancient Greek words oikos (home and household), trophos (nutrition), and logos (theory).

At the site in Haste, students have the opportunity to gain insight both into various production stages along the food chain (from primary production to the end consumer) and into consumer behavior. In the Ecotrophology degree program, this leads to a special focus on information, consulting, and education.
