Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics
The Bachelor of Nutrition 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 Dietetics course emphasises
professional development and provides the student with opportunities
to gain clinical and health promotion skills through 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 achieved a minimum of credit average across the first two
years of their program to be permitted to continue into the third
and fourth years of this degree. Students failing to achieve this
grade will be transferred to the BSc (Nutrition) degree program.
In addition, 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.
