Canary Islands Government Decides to Abolish Bachelor's Degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics

Background

The Canary Islands government has officially decided to abolish the previously approved Bachelor's degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics offered by the University European of Canarias.

  • The program was verified in 2021 and registered in the national university registry.
  • Despite approval, the program never saw active classes or student enrollment.
  • The university requested its discontinuation in early 2025.

Reasons for Abolishment

  • Extremely low number of student applications made the course unviable and inefficient.
  • The decision is part of broader efforts to streamline higher education offerings and ensure resources are used effectively.

Impact and Future Outlook

  • Residents interested in nutrition studies should note that new opportunities in this field at the university are unlikely.
  • The program is effectively closed to new students.

The decree finalizes the removal of the degree, emphasizing transparency and accountability in university management.

  • Provides pathways for legal recourse for affected parties in case of disagreement with the decision.
