University-Specific Master's Degree
Nutrition and Integrated Clinical Management of Obesity

Despite the fact that obesity is one of the main reasons for consultation in the clinic, nutrition and medical professionals rarely have specific training in the treatment of overweight and obesity. Moreover, many of the concepts used are erroneous or completely contrary to scientific evidence, which means that patients do not even receive a well-founded explanation of the real causes of their overweight. Thus, overweight and obese people are systematically subjected to interventions and advice without evidence, while the physiological, neuroadaptive and weight changes that accompany such treatments are still not widely understood. The problem of obesity, however, is not merely a question of extra kilos, and also affects people within "normal" weight ranges under BMI criteria, with a metabolically unhealthy body composition. Moreover, the results of routine analyses of lipids, glucose, even blood pressure, etc., also have their origin in body composition, confusing the cause and consequence of common risk factors and treatments. "Eat less and move more" is thus a common prescription that fails to understand the relationship between metabolic health, body composition and overweight.

Obesity is generally conceptualized from the proximate cause, as "excess intake over expenditure". This is a circular argument that leaves unexplained precisely why some people eat in excess of their expenditure. As for the "obesogenic environment" argument, all Western countries and many others live in such an environment, but some people get fat and others do not, so it is not a valid answer at the scientific level either, nor does it allow us to give a clinical orientation at the level of the individual patient. Contrary to what has been disseminated, we are faced with a condition of exceptional complexity. The problem of obesity is fundamentally in the nervous system, including neurophysiological adaptations to the loss of body mass itself. Controlled clinical trials with diet and exercise show conclusively that we are not dealing with a merely caloric issue, but on the contrary, with the adaptive responses to them, which in our experience are still completely unknown and misunderstood by health personnel and people who treat overweight and obesity.

Therefore, this program has application from the first class, making a comprehensive approach to scientific evidence throughout the program, thereby eliminating ideas strongly implanted in the common clinical treatment. Obesity is studied from its biological, neuropsychological and environmental bases. Far from being opposing issues, biology and environment are mutually reinforcing. Subsequently, the scientific evidence in nutrition is approached, carrying out an integral comparative study between different dietary patterns in controlled clinical trials. The circadian and chronobiological adaptation of people is studied, focusing on the practical adjustment of schedules, frequency, volume, etc., integrating with the neuroadaptive responses that defend the weight deviations, set point, settling point, etc. The management of overweight and obesity is carried out from the point of view of body recomposition, integrating with the study of physical activity, whose role is also poorly understood in a generalized way, proposing an evidence-based, accessible, accessible and applicable management. Chronobiology is studied from a metabolic point of view, the role of the microbiota and the probiotic diet, as well as overweight and obesity in women, including hormonal pathologies. A study of the scientific evidence and clinical application of the most important dietary supplements is carried out, with proposals for joint use, exercises and practical classes of the different guidelines and their individualized application. Finally, endocrine, pharmacological and surgical aspects are studied, as well as the use of bioimpedance as an in-depth specialization of body composition.

In short, the Master in Nutrition and Comprehensive Clinical Management of Obesity is a truly innovative and integrative university program, with scientific, clinical and multidisciplinary orientation in the clinical management of the patient, with the recognition of training in ICNS, and obtaining a highly recognized and valued qualification.

Due to the fact that a significant part of the course content is updated each year, the description of each topic's points is for guidance only. The written syllabus is also complementary to the classes, where many additional points may be covered.
It is possible to take the 2 blocks of the Specialist Diploma that comprise it, without completing the Master's Final Project one that leads to the Master's degree.

Master's Final Project
MASTER IN NUTRITION AND INTEGRATED CLINICAL MANAGEMENT OF OBESITY (10 ECTS)
Master's Final Project
Master's Final Project
SEPTEMBER - DECEMBER 2026

The Master's Final Project at ICNS is designed to provide the student with genuine scientific competence. For this reason, the module includes several classes on searching for and interpreting scientific articles, giving the student real skills to search for and address clinical practice questions using the available scientific evidence. Additionally, a guided project is carried out, with different submissions that progressively develop the work in parts. The Master?s Final Project therefore follows a logical learning process throughout the different classes and assignments. The classes begin with the most basic concepts, so no prior knowledge is required. The project is developed in the form of continuous assessment over approximately 3 months.

  • To be eligible for the Master's Final Project, students must have passed the 2 Specialist Diploma courses and hold a university degree listed in the admission requirements.
  • students must formally request access to the Master's Final Project in order to qualify for the Master's Degree, (60 ECTS), which requires an additional payment of €.

Online Format

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.

University-Specific Master's Degree

Master accredited by UCAM (Catholic University of Murcia)

University-Specific Masters Degree ICNS-UCAM

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. The ICNS-UCAM permanent training master's degrees have 60-90 ECTS credits, are issued by universities, and are eligible for scoring. 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.

Therefore, no master's degree is intrinsically better than another; rather, the choice depends on the competencies the student needs, the quality of the institution offering the program, the methodology, the curriculum, the level of updating, the clinical orientation of the subjects, the faculty, and the quality-price ratio.

Student reviews

I found it very comprehensive and learned a great deal from it. In addition, the information provided in each class is very up to date, which is greatly appreciated after leaving university and seeing that many facts are outdated.
I am delighted with everything I have learned thanks to the great professionals who are part of the ICNS team, and I am eager to take more courses with them.
María de los Ángeles González Hormigo, Dietitian-Nutritionist specialized in the science and technology of oils and fermented beverages
Very satisfied with the content and the online classes. The instructors are very approachable and make the classes very interesting.
Elena Martínez Gómez, Degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics
I found it very complete, the best training I have taken so far, with updated information based on empirical data. Also, at all times the instructors answer questions and there is a lot of interaction in the forum. It has made me see perspectives on obesity that I neither understood nor imagined, information you can’t find anywhere else, very well compiled and explained.
Yaiza Padrón Antón, Psychologist
This is the third course I have taken at ICNS, and overall, studying here has given me a new way of seeing nutrition and education. I have not only learned (a lot) about obesity, but more importantly, I have learned to be more critical, to take nothing for granted, to put myself in the patient’s shoes, to question what I’m told, and to know that real learning happens in debate, not just listening. ICNS teaches you things, but it also motivates you, makes you a nonconformist, and makes you love your profession even more. I have never learned so much or enjoyed learning so much as in the courses I’ve taken here. A thousand thanks to the entire team.
Tania Clemente Muñoz, Dietitian
This has been my first course at ICNS and I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the instructors and the content provided. I am very grateful for the synthesis of current issues and reality, for truly fostering critical thinking, inviting us to reflect and rethink everything we came with from university. I loved being able to take this course online; the classes were very enjoyable, and we could interact, ask questions, and debate comfortably. Thanks to everyone.
Maite Cherino, Physiotherapist and Trainer
A very comprehensive training, with instructors whose knowledge we wish we could keep for ourselves. In addition, you don’t just learn about nutrition, but also about life. The best investment in education so far. I would take all the courses without thinking twice. Thank you very much for creating this institute.
Carolina Mosquera, Dietitian. Degree in Speech Therapy
I found it super interesting and highly recommended for reinforcing and acquiring new knowledge about weight loss in people with obesity. I highlight the tools and information given, being able to apply them in and outside the clinic. Up-to-date instructors who express themselves perfectly.
Daniel Bermúdez Abella, Dietitian and Graduate in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences
The opinions I can give are quite positive. The classes, even though they were online and at a distance, felt as close and engaging as in-person classes.
The explanations and different perspectives made me see other options, giving me a broader vision of different situations.
Lara Velasco Muela, Dietitian
The course has been interesting and all the material is useful to put into practice in your daily work at the clinic.
Sonia López Martín, Graduate in Human Nutrition and Dietetics
I was pleasantly surprised by the course; there are many myths surrounding obesity and many factors that can influence it. Being able to address all these topics in a practical and dynamic course is undoubtedly a success.
Patricia Sánchez Cazorla, Dietitian
I think the course is very good, both in content and in the quality of the instructors, who are up-to-date and empathetic with the students.
Thank you for this great training.
Patricia Herrera Valero, Degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics
The course has been a real discovery of truths and myths about the world of Nutrition. It has given me a lot to have a realistic view and to develop a critical attitude towards the food environment.
What I liked most is the scientific basis of all the modules and, although the content is complex, the ability to rewatch and review the videos made everything much easier to understand, along with the course book.
It met all my expectations and is well worth taking. I would consider doing more related courses.
Thank you very much for the quality and seriousness of the training.
Antonia Hervás, Degree in Biology
Very good training and excellence in the instructors. 100 x 100 recommended. Perfect methodology and a different perspective from what I had studied until now.
Regards.
Francisco Jesús Villareal Chamorro
As always, very happy both with the material taught and with the instructors.
We will see each other again in another course.
Pedro Ferrer Navarro, Dietitian
I loved the course! Excellent information! Excellent instructors!
Katy Arenas, Nutritionist
To anyone working in healthcare with people, 100% recommended.
Eneritz Pérez Lejarza, Dietitian-Nutritionist
The truth is I am quite satisfied with the course. I have only praise for everyone, professors and Mireia.
The format seemed very practical and convenient. It’s a luxury to be able to do it from home.
Another very important point is being able to watch the class in the following days and as many times as you want. This gives you time to make the most of the seminars.
No doubt I will stay in touch with you and I’m sure we’ll meet again in another course soon.
In short, a 10 for everyone who participated in this course.
Greetings and thank you very much.

Manuel Jesús Alcázar
I found it to be a very complete course, with many resources and very professional instructors. Above all, they answer all questions and always go beyond what is required. A great choice!
Patricia Salinas, Administrative and Dietitian
Very interesting and educational course. The professors interact with students during the classes, which makes it engaging and helps resolve doubts. Very valuable for applying in consultations.
Javier Pombo Valiño, Dietitian
The course is very complete and excellently organized. I learned a lot and loved it. It is very enriching. The professors are very attentive.
Silvina Dück, Degree in Nutrition
I am very happy with the level of the classes, the updated syllabus, and the quality of the teaching staff. In addition, the support system is excellent! I would recommend it with my eyes closed.
Sonia
Excellent and breaks the paradigms that, to lose weight, you only have to focus on calorie restriction; it also proposes interesting strategies to make the process easier and more pleasant for patients/people.
It is also worth highlighting the quality of the professionals who teach the course.
Carlos Jiménez Espinoza, Degree in Nutrition
I loved the course! I learned a lot! Excellent instructors!
Katia Minerva Arenas Oceguera, Degree in Nutrition
The teachers are outstanding! Very happy with the quality of the content and the way it is delivered in class. Thank you.
Isabel Ballesta
Very interesting and it opens the field. When we leave university it seems like we know everything, but we actually have a long way to go. Totally advisable to complement and broaden training, as well as to provide other views in the light of science.
Diego Noguera López, Degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics
Congratulations ICNS team! This has truly been an innovative course, with the most up-to-date materials. Thank you for opening our eyes, breaking dogmas, and expanding our field of knowledge; honestly, in no other course I have taken so far have I covered as much information as you have offered (traditional education should rethink a renewal).
You have gone beyond the screen with your passion and dedication, you are outstanding professionals. Your closeness is greatly appreciated, not only during class time but also backstage: coordination (thank you Mireia!) and forums (answering questions, offering extra information)... and together with all the classmates, ICNS really feels like a big family :)
It’s amazing to have discovered you, I will definitely take more courses with you! Greetings to the whole team: you’re awesome!!
Hugs! Asun
Maria Asunción Castillo Casasampera
Currently, the areas of nutrition and health are overloaded with information, much of which is pure quackery, even the ones coming from official sources. Separating the wheat from the chaff is a difficult task and that’s why I congratulate you—ICNS is without a doubt one of the best investments in terms of the quality of its teachings. Thank you very much.
Alberto Carrión Gomez
Overall, I liked it quite a lot. I learned many new things and it helped me improve the way I treat my patients as a professional.
Vanesa Pino Mangas
I can only say fantastic, it is very interesting to hear all the different points of view presented. I could write a thousand positive messages here:
- The class dynamics are great and there is a lot of participation. All doubts that arise are addressed, even with debates, which helps us be critical of the information and learn more.
- The question thread in the forum is very useful because it allows all students and professors, even from other courses, to participate and learn from each other. You can learn a lot there about very specific topics, share experiences, articles, ideas, etc.
- All the professors are hard-working, speak from experience, and all the syllabus content is focused on what happens in the field. They don’t teach empty theory; everything is approached from a practical point of view.
Those are, I think, the most important points. If it means anything, after doing this course, the only thing I can think is that, little by little, I want to take them all!!
