Corso/Course: Nutrition & Dietetics
Università/University: King's College London (KCL)
Esito/Result: AMMESSO/OFFERED A PLACE
My intrigue and respect for nature, science and the human body, has
nurtured my interest on the influence that nutrition has on the well-being of
our bodies and minds. I have chosen to study nutrition and dietetics as I can
develop this interest and attain the nutritional knowledge and professional
capabilities to convey awareness on the impact that diet has on health and in
preventing and managing disease.
As I live and I am currently studying in Italy, my motivation and love for
science is demonstrated in my choosing a "Liceo Scientifico"
(scientific high school) for my secondary school studies. I have studied
chemistry, physics, biology, geographical astronomy and mathematics, that have
enriched my scientific knowledge, logic, problem solving and analytical skills,
which I feel give me a solid basis for further studies in dietetics. In
addition, I am studying Italian, French, English and Latin literature,
philosophy, history and art, which I greatly enjoy and feel that they have
encouraged my critical thinking and allowed me to consider multiple points of
view and thus understanding better others. Furthermore, I have had to adopt
good organisation skills and cope at times with great pressure in order to
maintain very high grades in all subjects.
For the past three years, during the summer break, I have worked in my
father's artisan ice-cream
