“Alhamdulillah, UNISA’s Nutrition Study Program has now been accredited as Excellent. However, we do not yet have a Nutrition Professional Study Program because we are still waiting for policies from the government regarding its opening,” she explained.

Today we will share knowledge and discuss the eight accreditation criteria,” said Zairina.
