Bachelor of Nutrition Sciences / Master of Dietetics Studies

Immerse yourself in the world of food, nutrition and dietetics, and gain 2 qualifications in just 4 years with this vertical dual degree.

Understand how nutrition impacts health and helps prevent and treat conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, malnutrition, gut disorders, and allergies and intolerances. There are many opportunities for you to integrate this theoretical knowledge with practical learning throughout this program.

You'll develop the practical skills to guide people in making food choices that promote health and wellbeing by undertaking approximately 850 hours of supervised practice in hospitals, community centres, aged care facilities, the food industry and other organisations.

On campus, you'll gain practical, hands-on experience in our modern dietetics demonstration space. In our student-led clinic you’ll practise applying your medical nutrition therapy theory with real clients, as well as help design and deliver various nutrition education opportunities.

If research is your passion, you can pursue this in your final year and complete an innovative project alongside leading Australian researchers in nutrition and dietetics, with national and international impact. You'll also have the potential to contribute to published scientific literature.
