"The Master's Degree It has been a great adventure based on effort and enthusiasm"

Today, the students of the Master's Degree European University in Food, Nutrition and Metabolism (E-MENU)are dedicated to the work Fin de Master's Degree (TFM) full-time. The TFM is a project of research in the area of Food and Health that the student carries out integrated in a group of research and under the supervision of a tutor of the University.

This academic year 2020/2021 has been marked by uncertainty. Not knowing if the classes were going to be face-to-face, not knowing if we would have another confinement ahead, have been handicaps that both students and teachers have had to overcome throughout the months.

Paola, a student at Master's Degree, tells us that after finishing degree program in Nutrition and Dietetics, "I wasn't entirely sure what my next step would be. At that time, job opportunities were scarce and, to be honest, I didn't feel I was ready to go into self-employment". It was a family member who put the idea of continuing her studies into her head. So Paola began her search for postgraduate studies and, looking at different options, she ended up discovering E-MENU.

Speaking about her experience at Master's Degree Paola explains that "one of the aspects that I have most valued about this Master's Degree has been the possibility of attending classes in person at attend . This modality not only facilitates learning, but also allows you to live the university experience authentically". From a more technical point of view, Paola says that "personally, the Master's Degree has been the perfect complement to the Degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics".

For his part, student Víctor Valverde chose Master's Degree because he felt the need to continue training and acquiring knowledge. Like Paola, Victor emphasizes the face-to-face nature of the classes and highly values the University's commitment to this format. For this reason he highlights "the presence we have had at all times, its innovative program professor and, especially, all the professional teachers-researchers who have been helping us".

In addition, Victor believes that "after these months, we have been able to acquire various scientific-technical knowledge thanks to the annual courses we have taken".

It is clear that the students have been very appreciative of the efforts made by the University and School. The fact of having been able to combine university life with the pandemic was a risky bet that has turned out well and has allowed these students to enjoy the whole E-MENU experience.
