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 and a half years of this degree will be permitted to apply to
transfer into the Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics at this time
