Introduction to the Program
Un programa exhaustivo y 100% online, exclusivo de TECH y con una perspectiva internacional respaldada por nuestra afiliación con American Wine Society”
Satisfacer al consumidor y maximizar los beneficios empresariales es el fin de toda industria. El papel del nutricionista que se dedique a este campo y sea el responsable de que los vinos presenten unas características determinadas según el caso, es fundamental para lograrlo. Además, el consumidor habitual ha variado y ahora es mucho más exigente en cuanto al tacto bucal, la textura, el olor y el sabor de un vino.
En la interpretación de las características del alimento intervienen directamente los compuestos organolépticos que se le aplican. En este sentido, existe una fuerte demanda de las empresas al contar con profesionales que se encuentren al día de las técnicas analíticas más novedosas y que aseguran un producto de calidad. Por ello, TECH ha diseñado un programa específico con el que los alumnos serán capaces de dominar el análisis sensorial del vino.
Además, esta Postgraduate diploma en Sensory Analysis in Enology, se corresponde con un diseño adaptado a los nuevos medios que facilita el aprendizaje del alumno, gracias a su modalidad 100% y sus contenidos audiovisuales. Asimismo, el alumnado contará con una guía de referencia descargable a la que podrá acceder incluso sin internet, una vez la haya conservado en su dispositivo. De esta manera, se abre un abanico de posibilidades para los especialistas que deseen formarse en remoto con todas las garantías de éxito y con el aval de profesionales que ya se desenvuelven en el área empresarial vitivinícola.
Asimismo, gracias a que TECH Global University es miembro de American Wine Society (AWS), el profesional contará con materiales especializados, guías y ejercicios avanzados para la práctica de la enología y la promoción de la cultura vitivinícola. Además, podrá asistir a eventos académicos, recibir descuentos en publicaciones y conectarse con una amplia red internacional de destacados investigadores, reforzando el conocimiento en este campo.
