About the course

　　Your first year is interprofessional and taken with other health sciences students. In your second year you will choose between two streams: Nutrition or Food Science.

　　Nutrition

　　In this stream you will develop your understanding of the associations between diet and health outcomes.

　　You’ll explore the social and cultural influences that impact dietary decisions within populations. You’ll also conduct a nutrition research project.

　　Course outcomes from the Nutrition stream meet entry requirements for Curtin’s Master of Dietetics course.

　　In Australia, there is a distinction between dietitians and other occupations in the nutrition and food science field including that of a nutritionist. To qualify as a dietitian you must complete postgraduate studies.

　　Food Science

　　In this stream you will focus on the nature and chemical composition of foods, ingredient behaviour under different processing conditions, and the application of this knowledge to improve the safety and quality of food.

　　You’ll undertake field trips throughout the course and a work placement with an external organisation. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
