The Master’s program in School of Nutrition and Health Sciences was established in 1995. Our mission is to train our students to integrate theoretical and practical skills and knowledge into new exploration in the modern era of nutrition from bench to bed and from data to policy and beyond. We have aggressively expanded international collaboration in teaching and research with the world’s top universities, to provide better learning environment and opportunity for our students toward globalization.
Our international students publish, on average, two scientific articles during their statues and many of them get promoted after returning to their home countries. More than 75% of Indonesia students from our master’s & Ph.D. programs have got a faculty position at top universities in their country after graduation.
