Growing public interest in the relationship between diet and health is evident and, as a result, there are increasing demands from the public for reliable and trustworthy information. In response, the Nutrition Society of Australia (NSA) has developed a ‘Register of Nutritionists’ to establish a list of appropriately qualified nutrition professionals.
As a graduate of this course, you may be eligible for registration as an ‘Associate Nutritionist’ as the criteria for eligibility is a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in nutrition or equivalent. Following three years of relevant work experience, Associate Nutritionists are able to apply for ‘Registered Nutritionist’ status. For details about the registration process, please refer to the Nutrition Society of Australia website.
Course rules
The course consists of 8 credit points completed as: 6 core units (1 credit point each) and 2 electives (two 1 credit point units or one 2 credit point unit, 2 credit points in total). The 2 electives may be chosen from postgraduate units offered by any faculty of the University (subject to unit rules and approval by the Course Director).
