Your first year is interprofessional and taken with other health sciences students. In your second year you will choose between two streams: Nutrition or Food Science.


Nutrition


In this stream you will develop your understanding of the associations between diet and health outcomes.

Course outcomes from the Nutrition stream meet entry requirements for Curtin’s Master of Dietetics course.


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 postgraduate studies.


Food Science


In this stream you will focus on the nature and chemical composition of foods, ingredient behaviour under different processing conditions, and the application of this knowledge to improve the safety and quality of food.
