In a heated discussion – an Oxford-style debate at WUM
The future of the profession of a dietitian in Poland requires the development of a single, common standard of education – that was the motion of the Oxford-style debate held at our university. The arguments were presented by experts from WUM and invited guests from the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW). However, it should be emphasized that the dispute was only related to the convention of the debate itself. Its participants had to assume their roles (supporters or opponents), but in fact they were all on the same side.

They could also participate in workshops conducted by scientific student clubs of our university.
