A Bachelor of Nutrition Science degree trains you in human nutrition, preparing you to register as an associate nutritionist in Australia and the United Kingdom. This course explores the science behind nutrition, exploring nutrition across the lifespan, food in society, and the role of nutrition in health and disease. Now more than ever, there's an awareness of how our food choices impact our health. There is a need for nutritionists who can explain the science underpinning the relationship between diet and disease to the general public. That's why studying a Bachelor of Nutrition Science is such a healthy investment. As a nutrition student, you'll examine the broad scope of food in society and gain in-depth knowledge of nutritional and biomedical science from specialists in dietary intake and metabolism, public health nutrition, sports nutrition and exercise science, body composition, and hunger and satiety. Your theoretical knowledge will be enriched through hands-on, practical study in our innovative Be Active Sleep Eat (BASE) facility equipped with an industrial kitchen, sleep lab and body composition suite. You'll learn how to assess dietary intake, experiment with food chemistry and composition, and how to understand the complex regulatory requirements relating to food labelling. You'll also have the opportunity to gain professional experience, applying your new knowledge and skills with the choice of a work placement or research project. Build your future network and complete an 11-week placement in the food industry or participate in nutrition research, working on a project under the supervision of one of our expert supervisors.
