Professional Master's Degree in Human Microbiota for Nutritionists

The human body is a compendium of anatomical and biological wonders: inside us reside approximately 100 trillion microorganisms, which maintain an important commensal symbiotic relationship with us. Contrary to popular belief, a good part of these bacteria are not harmful, since they play a vital role in various functions such as disease prevention. One of the places where these microbial groups swarm the most is in the gastrointestinal tract, hence the essential need to study them for those who follow the path of nutritionology. With this in mind, TECH Technological University, a global leader in distance education, has designed its Professional Master's Degree in Human Microbiota for Nutritionists: a high-level training curriculum that includes everything from the most basic notions such as eubiosis and dysbiosis, to more specialized concepts such as probiotics, prebiotics and the relationship between the microbiota and the immune system. Our multimedia content taught by a teaching staff with relevant experience in the area of medicine and nutrition will provide you with the necessary tools to complement your studies with the latest advances in the field and become an outstanding professional.

Learning about microbiota: Why do you need it?

Just as you cannot become a great chemist without knowing in detail each of the elements that make up the periodic table, you cannot become an excellent nutritionist without knowing the microbial components that are part of both the intestinal flora and the human body in general. Incessant studies applied to this field have shown that a "healthy" microbiota is necessary to achieve an optimal state of health. This is affected by factors such as diet, lifestyle, pharmacological treatments, etc. This is why nutritionists need to understand all the guidelines and functionalities to intervene efficiently in this area. With TECH you will discover a new focus to redefine your conceptions and provide top quality treatments. Our Professional Master's Degree is purely online, so you have a versatile schedule flexibility and unlimited access to bibliographic content so you can reinforce and complement topics as often as you wish. Don't wait to become the best, enroll with us and make it happen.
