About

Our fast-track trimester timetable makes it easy to tackle a double degree at Bond. In fact, you can complete two degrees here in less time than you could graduate with just one at most other universities.

Bond’s Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice enables graduates to become eligible to join Dietitians Australia’s Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) Program.

The Bachelor of Biomedical Science is a broad-based degree designed to develop your understanding of the molecular, cellular, anatomical, and physiological processes that occur in the human body, providing the perfect pathway into the Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice.

Bond’s Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice is the highest-level nutrition and dietetic master’s degree available in Australia. Benefit from the program’s exceptional 20-week research internship with a focus on global nutrition citizenship and gain 24 weeks of practical internship experience in traditional areas of practice such as clinical dietetics. Gain that competitive edge in the job market by completing this AQF extended Level 9 master’s degree in a compact timeframe of two years. Before entering the workforce, students can prepare for the program and accreditation requirements through our program charter.

Studying both programs at Bond will enable you to develop your knowledge and skills across a range of disciplines including anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology, pharmacology, chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, microbiology and nutrition and health.

Career

Where your degree can take you

Individuals with a Bachelor of Biomedical Science degree have many different career options including pursuing further studies for a career in allied health.

The Australian Government’s Job Outlook rates the future growth in demand for dietitians as strong. The number of Dietitians grew strongly over five years, from 3,700 in 2011 to 4,000 in 2016.

More than 85% of nutritionists and dietitians work in the broad area of health care and social assistance.

Bond’s Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice program has been designed to prepare graduates with the professional qualifications required to apply their skills and experience across a range of areas, including clinical dietetics in hospitals and outpatient facilities, private practice, food service management, corporate health and wellness, sports nutrition, nutrition communications and media, nutrition in childcare, schools and aged care facilities, and community and public health nutrition in Australia and globally.

Graduates may also wish to progress to further post-graduate research leading to potential career options in research organisations and academia.

Outcomes

Dietitian

Dietitians provide medical nutrition therapy to people of all ages in a range of settings including hospitals, aged care facilities, outpatient clinics, sporting organisations and online (telehealth), and offer support in making dietary changes to either prevent or manage a specific health condition, or for maximising performance as an athlete.

Researcher

Dietetic graduates with an interest in research can work in an array of health and research settings including universities, the food industry, hospitals and health services, national government departments and research institutes. As the field of food and nutrition is broad, nutrition-related research projects are vast and can include food science (the physical, biological, and chemical components of food), the psychology of eating and behaviour change, and clinical nutrition.

Nutritionist

Public health nutritionists work with groups, communities, and populations to promote and maintain health and wellbeing through planned nutrition initiatives. Common settings where public health nutritionists work include national and international government health departments, local community development organisations, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services and organisations, not-for-profit agencies, schools, and the food industry.

Food industry consultant

Graduates with dietetic qualifications can consult to the food industry in a range of ways. For example, they can provide nutrition training for staff working in the food industry, provide ingredient, recipe and menu reviews to ensure both adequate nutrition and food and environment sustainability, work in food industry regulation initiatives and new product development.
