The Bachelor of Nutrition Science prepares students to communicate nutrition science to the public and advise the community about food choices for healthy eating. Nutrition can have a major impact on health, particularly on those diseases which constitute the national health priority areas in Australia including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, injury prevention and mental health, many of which are preventable through a healthy lifestyle.
This program will focus on general health care, chronic disease management, Indigenous health and other emerging areas of need and students will gain an understanding of the science behind food and nutrition including human physiology and biochemistry, as well as food and culinary nutrition science. Students also have the opportunity to select a minor or major.
