Bachelor of Science (Nutrition)
The Bachelor of Science (Nutrition) is a 3 year full time
degree program requiring 144 credit points of approved subjects.
The degree provides a general education in the study of human
nutrition with core areas of study including biochemistry,
physiology, nutritional metabolism and community and public
health nutrition. The program may be seen as the first 2 years
of the professional 4-year Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics
degree. The BSc (Nutrition) degree is designed to meet the
prerequisite requirements for admission to the MSc (Nutrition
and Dietetics) and recognition by the DAA as a professional
Dietitian/Nutritionist.
Students within the BSc(Nutrition) who have achieved a credit
average in the first 2 years of this degree will be permitted
to apply to transfer into the Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics
at this time
