About the course

Imagine using your passion for health and equity to reshape global food culture—this course is your launchpad.
Public Health Nutrition for a Changing World dives into how food, lifestyle, and policy collide at a population level to fight non‑communicable diseases and nurture healthier communities.

This isn't your average lecture series—it’s a vibrant blend of systems thinking, strategic foresight, and future-focused sustainability, framed within the urgent reality of climate change. Here, you’ll dissect evidence-based dietary guidelines, understand how public procurement decisions ripple through ecosystems, and learn to guide behavior change across societies.

Under the guidance of top scientists, real-world practitioners, and trailblazing entrepreneurs, you’ll team up, tackle true-to-life public health scenarios, and prototype bold, sustainable solutions—all with the power to spark meaningful change.

What makes this course a standout for forward-looking young leaders?
You’ll naturally grow the competencies that tomorrow demands—systems, future, strategic, and values-based thinking—all while strengthening collaboration skills via problem-based learning.

Across its three integrated modules (Public Health Nutrition, Evidence in Public Health Nutrition, and Sustainability & Behavior Shift), you’ll shift from theory to impact: mapping complex nutritional challenges, evaluating and translating cutting-edge research, and architecting behavior‑change strategies for resilient and sustainable eating in a warming world.

Delivered in a hybrid format and packed with group-based interactive learning and mandatory participation, this course blends flexibility with active, immersive learning.
