There is a social demand for specialists in R&D&I with skills to innovate and who can join multidisciplinary teams, being able to adapt to the continuous changes that are currently taking place in the field of food.
Globalization in the economy and in the food market make food technology and safety a general interest topic and one that is influenced by a number of factors. Food production and consumption are essential for every society and have economic, social and, in many cases, environmental repercussions.
The Masters explores most innovative and specialized aspects related to production technology, hygienic and nutritious quality of food, as well related to the different professional profiles of Dietitian-Nutritionist: clinical, community, catering, food industry, teaching and research.
This Master's Degree in Innovation in Nutrition, Safety and Food Technologies offers quality training that specialises in Nutrition, Food Safety and Technology and that provides a social response to the demands of the European Union regarding consumer health and food safety (Law 17/2011, of 5 July, on food safety and nutrition).

Mobility
La movilidad de los/as estudiantes está regulada a través del “Reglamento de intercambios interuniversitarios”. A través de la Oficina de Relaciones Exteriores se gestionan programas de intercambio tanto nacionales (SICUE), como europeos (ERASMUS) y extracomunitarios (intercambios con países de América Latina o países de habla inglesa):
Actualmente el máster de procedencia tiene un convenio con el Laboratorio Ibérico Internacional de Nanotecnología (INL) de Braga (Portugal) que permite que nuestros alumnos puedan hacer su TFM con ellos.
Internships
En las prácticas en empresas, bajo la supervisión del tutor externo, el estudiante deberá desarrollar el proyecto formativo establecido en el convenio de prácticas.
Las prácticas externas en empresas o entidades relacionadas con la temática del Máster constituyen una actividad de naturaleza formativa realizada por los estudiantes cuyo objetivo es permitir a los mismos aplicar y complementar los conocimientos adquiridos en su formación académica, favoreciendo la adquisición de competencias en distintos aspectos de la Nutrición, Seguridad y Tecnología Alimentarias en industrias/entidades del sector. El alumno, por tanto, incorporará a los conocimientos adquiridos en el aula y/o laboratorio, los conocimientos prácticos.
Consiste en un ejercicio integrador o de síntesis que permite aplicar las competencias adquiridas en las materias de la titulación. En él el alumno/ a efectuará la realización, presentación y defensa individual ante un tribunal universitario, de un proyecto en el ámbito de la nutrición, la seguridad y la tecnología alimentarias en el que se sinteticen e integren las competencias adquiridas en las enseñanzas del Máster. El trabajo fin de máster se podrá realizar en alguna de las líneas de investigación ofertadas por los profesores del Máster, relacionadas con los campos citados. El tema de trabajo específico será asignado por la comisión académica del máster a cada alumno, teniendo en cuenta las líneas de investigación ofertadas, las preferencias manifestadas por los alumnos y las disponibilidades de profesorado.
The teaching staff of this master is composed of professors from different departments of the USC, as well as external faculty of the Galician Society of Endocrinology, Nutrition and Metabolism (SGENM) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), with extensive experience in this field.

Mobility
La movilidad de los/as estudiantes está regulada a través del “Reglamento de intercambios interuniversitarios”. A través de la Oficina de Relaciones Exteriores se gestionan programas de intercambio tanto nacionales (SICUE), como europeos (ERASMUS) y extracomunitarios (intercambios con países de América Latina o países de habla inglesa):
Actualmente el máster de procedencia tiene un convenio con el Laboratorio Ibérico Internacional de Nanotecnología (INL) de Braga (Portugal) que permite que nuestros alumnos puedan hacer su TFM con ellos.
Internships
En las prácticas en empresas, bajo la supervisión del tutor externo, el estudiante deberá desarrollar el proyecto formativo establecido en el convenio de prácticas.
Las prácticas externas en empresas o entidades relacionadas con la temática del Máster constituyen una actividad de naturaleza formativa realizada por los estudiantes cuyo objetivo es permitir a los mismos aplicar y complementar los conocimientos adquiridos en su formación académica, favoreciendo la adquisición de competencias en distintos aspectos de la Nutrición, Seguridad y Tecnología Alimentarias en industrias/entidades del sector. El alumno, por tanto, incorporará a los conocimientos adquiridos en el aula y/o laboratorio, los conocimientos prácticos.
Consiste en un ejercicio integrador o de síntesis que permite aplicar las competencias adquiridas en las materias de la titulación. En él el alumno/ a efectuará la realización, presentación y defensa individual ante un tribunal universitario, de un proyecto en el ámbito de la nutrición, la seguridad y la tecnología alimentarias en el que se sinteticen e integren las competencias adquiridas en las enseñanzas del Máster. El trabajo fin de máster se podrá realizar en alguna de las líneas de investigación ofertadas por los profesores del Máster, relacionadas con los campos citados. El tema de trabajo específico será asignado por la comisión académica del máster a cada alumno, teniendo en cuenta las líneas de investigación ofertadas, las preferencias manifestadas por los alumnos y las disponibilidades de profesorado.
The teaching staff of this master is composed of professors from different departments of the USC, as well as external faculty of the Galician Society of Endocrinology, Nutrition and Metabolism (SGENM) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), with extensive experience in this field.
