Summary
Overview
Through this one-year course, you’ll develop the skills and knowledge to work as a nutritionist in the clinical and public health and food industry sectors.
You’ll study the theory behind nutritional sciences, exploring topics from food guidelines to biochemistry to the distribution and control of disease. You’ll also have sessions in our laboratories where you’ll complete food practical and nutritional assessment evaluations.
During practical sessions, you’ll learn about the assessments conducted as a nutritionist. We use patient case studies, so you might complete a nutritional assessment for a patient with Crohn’s disease, diabetes or perhaps analyse a person’s diet.
Many of our students complete public health nutrition-based projects for their dissertations, focusing on areas they’re hoping to develop a career in. Recent topics include exploring the impact of eating patterns during the menopause, health benefits of vegan and vegetarian diets, impact of dietary acculturation on food intake, and understanding and adherence to dietary guidelines.
