Chemistry and biochemistry units further develop a scientific understanding of nutrients and their effects on the human body, providing a solid basis for advanced study. Anatomy, physiology, and health science courses equip students with the core understanding of the body systems and their relationship to nutrition. As students progress, they engage with specialized topics such as nutritional biochemistry, nutrition across the life course, and disease prevention, allowing them to understand how dietary factors influence health at different stages of life and under various health conditions. Core professional units focus on nutrition professions and public health nutrition, preparing students to work effectively in clinical, community, and organizational settings. Practical, hands-on experience is embedded through professional placements, giving students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in real-world environments and develop skills that are directly transferable to the workplace. Elective options provide flexibility, enabling students to tailor their learning to their interests and career goals. In their final year, students complete a nutrition project, integrating research, critical thinking, and professional practice skills to address contemporary issues in nutrition. Graduates of the program are well-prepared for careers in clinical nutrition, community health, food industry roles, and research, or for further postgraduate study in dietetics or related health fields. By combining scientific rigour, practical application, and professional engagement, the Bachelor of Nutrition ensures students graduate with the expertise, confidence, and experience to contribute meaningfully to the promotion of health and wellbeing across diverse populations.
