Summary
Course Overview
Through this two-year course, you’ll develop the skills and knowledge to work as a dietitian, delivering therapeutic nutrition in both public and private sector organisations.
You’ll study the nutrition and health of the population, exploring topics from lifespan nutrition to diet therapy and human metabolism to common chronic diseases, and their management, and how these change over the life course.
