Get up to date on the most advanced statistics, delving into R, biostatistics and analytical methodology with which to take your medical nutritional research to a high level"

Research on nutritional issues is not trivial, especially in a society increasingly involved in diets of all kinds, with conditions caused by poor nutrition or an unusual interest in a more careful diet. Nutritionists have a favorable field of action not only to address all these issues in a practical way, but also to investigate them through research that follows the nutritional trends of both the present and the future.

This is where the ability of nutrition professionals come into play to undertake a research project, a complex issue that requires multiple skills and knowledge that, in addition, must be updated to the latest scientific and technological precepts. For this reason, TECH has created this professional master’s degree in Medical Research, aimed at providing an overall but at the same time exhaustive view of all the steps to be followed when undertaking a project of this nature.

Thus, the Nutritionist will learn different topics such as collaborative research, treatment of bibliographic and documentary sources or international funding calls, as well as the dissemination of results through reports, articles, conferences and even social networks. A whole appendix of contents that will give an improved, rigorous and current approach to the graduate's research projects.

In addition, the 100& online format of the program, without in-person classes or fixed schedules, allows total compatibility. It is the student who decides when, where and how to learn the entire teaching load, being able to distribute it at his own pace to adapt it to his work or personal responsibilities. Contents are available 24 hours a day from the virtual campus, accessible at any time from a computer, smartphone or device with internet connection.

Invest in one of the research fields with the greatest current projection and obtain all the guarantees to undertake your own project in this professional master’s degree"
