人类营养涉及食品生产和加工的科学，食品的营养成分，营养成分与我们的生化和生理成分的相互作用以及饮食对健康和疾病的影响。在学习了人类营养学专业后，您将有资格申请营养学研究生学位，从而有资格成为营养师。研究人类营养也是在食品制造，公共卫生或食品政策领域迈出重要一步。或者，通过进一步学习，您可以从事健康或科学教学的职业。将此专业与相关领域的课程一起学习，您将有资格在澳大利亚营养协会注册为营养师。
The Biomedicine degree includes core subjects and 15 majors to choose from. This provides you with the foundations for a broad range of professional health pathways. Core second and third year subjects - available only to you as a Biomedicine student. The two second year integrated subjects emphasise the relationships between different biomedical disciplines it's about enhancing your understanding of the human body in its full complexity. In third year the core subjects take on a more clinical (Molecules to Malady) or Population (Frontiers in Biomedicine) focus, tying all the elements of your Biomedicine journey together. The Bachelor of Biomedicine is ideal preparation for a career in medicine and professional health. While one third of our graduates enter the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program at this university representing over half of the domestic intake for the MD even more choose another graduate course at Melbourne.<br><br>The major in Human Nutrition prepares people for careers in a multitude of areas including the food industry, government regulatory authorities, dietetics and secondary school teaching (the latter two requiring further qualifications), as well as a pathway to higher degrees in nutrition research and many other health related fields. Basic sciences underpin this major, which connects the science of agriculture, to food production and processing, the nutrient composition of foods, the interaction of those nutrients with our biochemical and physiological make up and the impact of diet in general on health and disease at the individual and population level. The major is structured to optimise acceptance into Masters of Dietetics at universities within Australia and to qualify students for registration within the Nutrition Society of Australia's Voluntary Register of Nutritionists. Some first and second year subjects are prerequisites for final year major units and other agriculture, food, biochemistry and physiology subjects are recommended depending on what emphasis students wish to have in their Human Nutrition major.
