Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, supported by MUNDO, launches master programme in nutrition
On 16 November 2022 Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (UEM) in Maputo, Mozambique presented a new master programme: Sciences of Nutrition. This master programme is the result of a Nuffic funded project in the framework of the Orange Knowledge Programme (OKP) in which Universidade Eduardo Mondlane was supported by Maastricht University and Wageningen University. What makes the master's programme unique is that is that the method of teaching is Problem Based Learning and that it is the first multidisciplinary programme of its kind at UEM. The Master Sciences of Nutrition will start in the academic year 2023 at the Faculty of Sciences. Why a new master's programme in nutrition is needed. In Mozambique, 43% of the children are chronically malnourished and suffer from stunted growth. This will seriously affect their future health and wellbeing, and it will limit their capacity to contribute to the further development of the country.
