and Dietetics degree requires 4 years of full-time study and the completion
of 192 credit points of approved subjects. The Bachelor of Nutrition and

placements in hospitals, community health centres and the department's Exercise
Science and Rehabilitation Centre. Graduates are eligible for membership
of the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA) and practice as professional
Dietitians/Nutritionists.
Undergraduate students wishing to transfer into the Bachelor of Nutrition
and Dietetics degree may make application upon completion of the first two
and a half years of the BSc (Nutrition), BSc (Exercise Science and Nutrition)
or the Bachelor of Medical Science degrees (or other approved degree programs).
Selection is based on a range of criteria including University results over
that time.
Students within the Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics will need to have
