„Im Studiengang Hauswirtschaft werden Themenbereiche wie Konsumverhalten, Nachhaltigkeit und Lebensführung aufgegriffen und miteinander verknüpft. Er verbindet somit gesellschaftsrelevante Fragen mit praktischem Wissen und Kompetenzen, wodurch er einen wertvollen Bestandteil im Schulalltag einnimmt.”
„Home economics is more than just cooking - here, practice and theory are put on a plate so that we can implement healthy eating directly in the kitchen. We can pass on these skills to the pupils later on.”
„I particularly appreciate the practical units in the learning workshop and the close supervision by the lecturers. The interdisciplinary approach and applied topics such as nutritional sciences and food culture make the program especially varied.”
„For me, nutritional education is the ideal mix of familiar and new, exciting disciplines such as health and sports sciences. Binding goal agreements, combined with an almost family-like atmosphere, create an environment in which a sense of community quickly develops”
„Nutritional science is a versatile and practical natural science. What I particularly like about the program is that it includes practical units, such as in the lab or in the learning workshop (kitchen). The close supervision by the Public Health Nutrition working group is also commendable”
