Dietitians are specialist nutritionists who apply the science of food and nutrition to promote health, prevent and treat disease to optimise the health of individuals, groups, communities, and populations. They are accredited to work in roles such as community and public health nutrition, clinical dietetics, food service systems management, and research. This enables them to work in settings such as community centres, hospitals, private practice, research, food industry, nursing homes, sports teams and food service.
You will study the building blocks of nutrition: biochemistry, nutritional epidemiology, public health nutrition and pathophysiology. You will also learn about medical nutrition therapy, which involves translating the science of nutrition into personalised dietary advice to manage specific medical conditions. In addition, you will learn how to develop community nutrition program plans to help improve the nutrition of communities.
