Bachelor of Nutrition Science is a comprehensive education that focuses into the multi-faceted discipline of human nutrition and includes an appreciation of the broad scope of food in society, in-depth knowledge of nutritional and biomedical science and the role of nutrition in health and disease. This course will prepare students to become a nutrition scientist and for a career in the food industry, nutrition research, government and non-government agencies or public health. In the first two years, the course has a strong scientific and nutrition foundation, covering the scientific basis of nutrient requirements and healthy eating, with significant reference to nutritional physiology, biochemistry and immunology, intertwined with practical elements such as assessing dietary intake, food chemistry and composition, and the complex regulatory requirements relating to food. In the final year students will have the opportunity to focus on their interest on either nutrition research, public health nutrition or a food industry placement. Nutrition research skills, the importance of nutrition policies and the challenges associated with the increase in chronic disease are a prominent feature of the third year.
