The Master’s Degree in Nutrition and Applied Dietotherapy has been designed for dietitians-nutritionists who have completed their undergraduate degree and need to strengthen their dietary planning and general clinical practice, as well as for healthcare professionals who have not studied nutrition and wish to learn the fundamental principles at a dietary level. It may also be useful for those who want to reinforce basic nutritional knowledge before enrolling in more specialized ICNS Master’s programs focused on specific pathologies.
Therefore, the Master’s Degree in Nutrition and Applied Dietotherapy enables understanding of key topics related to food (such as optimal cooking techniques, foods to avoid, etc.), clinical consultation, and the practical preparation of diets, as well as the scientific evidence behind different dietary patterns—an area where there is considerable confusion. It also covers aspects of general metabolic health, including clinical cases, and provides a broad, evidence-based overview of common dietary supplements.
Regarding enrollment: recommended for students who need to strengthen foundational aspects of applied dietotherapy, including basic diet planning, use of ICNS software, etc.

This program is offered in an asynchronous online format, which means that classes do not have a fixed schedule.
However, the methodology of ICNS's asynchronous online programs is designed to be followed in a structured and continuous manner.
One class is released every two weeks, and there are deadlines for completing the assessments, requiring students to study consistently over time.
Students have full access to the virtual classroom at all times, where they can also contact professors directly.
ICNS's asynchronous online training is therefore delivered in a continuous format, which - based on our experience - leads to better learning outcomes and overall engagement compared to other approaches.
- The asynchronous online program follows a continuous learning methodology.
- All training is carried out through the virtual classroom, combining video lectures with reading the coursebook.
- Each class lasts 3-4 hours, and a new topic with its corresponding classes is released every two weeks.
- Each class includes a multiple-choice test, which must generally be completed within 30 days of the release of that topic.
- Students can ask the professors any questions through the virtual platform. A dedicated discussion thread is opened for each class topic.
Validity: both permanent training master's degrees and regulated master's degrees are eligible for scoring in public administration competitive exams and selection processes. The scoring of the training depends on the specific rules of each public process or employment pool.
Proprietary master's degrees have been renamed as permanent training master's degrees following the implementation of Royal Decree 822/2021.
Permanent training master's degrees and master's degrees leading to a PhD have different purposes, and both have advantages and disadvantages. Their main advantage is having more flexible regulations, which allow the design of curricula more oriented toward clinical practice, a more dynamic methodology, a greater variety of topics covered, and a design more focused on student needs. Permanent training master's degrees allow students to be trained in competencies aimed at clinical practice that are often not sufficiently addressed in regulated education.
Thanks to this, there is a greater variety of permanent training degrees that make it possible to offer more specific and comprehensive curricula. Master's degrees leading to a PhD have more structured programs, which limits flexibility in their design. For this reason, universities offer both types of programs to address different needs - whether the goal is to pursue a doctoral and research program in a specific area, or to expand professional competencies, in our case more oriented toward clinical practice.
