Yamagata Prefectural Yonezawa University of Nutrition Sciences
This university was established in April, 2014 as a school specialized in one field of study, the training of registered dieticians. Many people in Japan have an interest in health and intend not only to live a long life, but to live a long and healthy life. In order to do this, it is important to have dietary education for various age groups and measures for countering lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Registered dieticians are in demand by society to advance health care in the aspects of food and nutrition.
Registered dieticians must have great knowledge and master many techniques. Not only the knowledge and techniques of their field, but also great learning, a deep sense of humanity, and communication skills are demanded of them.
Because this university has a small class of 40 students per year, the distance between students and instructors is close, and the education that takes place is intimate.
