    Nutrition, Health Promotion

    About

    In this double degree you will learn how to identify the nutritional health needs of individuals, groups and communities. Youll be prepared to educate people on good health and nutrition and advocate for better health policies and laws. Youll also develop the ability to coordinate nutrition and health promotion activities for the public.

    In your first year you will learn the foundations of health promotion and nutrition, and study core units with students from other health disciplines.

    In your second, third and fourth years you will learn specialised health promotion and nutrition knowledge and skills. You will also undertake an on-campus health promotion campaign and provide a school-based nutrition education session.

    You will develop diverse practical skills by completing a 100-hour professional placement in a public health or health promotion organisation.

    Please note: In Australia there is a distinction between dietitians and other occupations in the nutrition and food science field, including that of a nutritionist. To qualify as a dietitian you must complete further postgraduate studies.
