营养科学是一个多学科研究领域，涵盖了食品和营养素在整个生命周期中对健康和疾病的作用。在关注人类营养之前，您将探索生物学和生物化学的基础知识。您将有机会从分子水平到系统水平研究营养以及营养对健康和疾病的影响。您将学习我们如何感测，消化，代谢和存储营养素，并发展各种实验室和研究技能，包括使用大数据集，这将为营养学家的职业生涯，研究途径，或在满足其他先决条件的前提下，进入营养与营养学硕士课程。
A Bachelor of Science opens up a world of opportunity. Whether you dream of joining the forefront of research, learning how to analyse and think critically or making the planet a better place, a Bachelor of Science will give you highly sought-after skills for a huge range of careers. At Sydney you will be taught by dedicated scientific thinkers, including members of the Australian Academy of Science, Australian Research Council Fellows and prestigious prize winners. You will study in world-class facilities, including the multimillion-dollar Sydney Nanoscience Hub and the Charles Perkins Centre, with its focus on diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease.<br> <br>Nutrition Science is a multidisciplinary area of study that covers the role of food and nutrients in health and disease, across the lifespan. You will explore the basics of biology and biochemistry before focusing on human nutrition. You will have opportunity to investigate nutrition and the effects of nutrients on health and disease from the molecular to the systems level. You will learn how we sense, digest, metabolise and store nutrients and a develop a wide range of laboratory and research skills, including working with big data sets, which will provide a strong foundation for a career as a nutrition scientist, a research pathway, or, with additional pre-requisites, entry to the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics program.<br><br>A major in nutrition and metabolism can open the door to further study in this area. You may wish to consider completing an honours year in nutrition and metabolism, or applying for entry to the Master of Nutriton and Dietetics, which is accredited by the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA). Graduates with a specialisation in nutrition and metabolism may be able to apply for positions in: hospitals, community health centres and area health services, private practice, sports nutrition, food industry, advertising, consulting, non-government organisations, public service (allied health professionals), academia (lecturer or research scientist in nutrition).
