This comprehensive four-year undergraduate Master of Nutrition (MNutrition)/BSc (Hons) Nutrition provides a robust combination of the theoretical understanding and practical skills essential for cultivating a rewarding career as a nutritionist.

During your first two years, you'll join a diverse cohort of students, exploring the fundamental principles of your chosen profession.

As you progress, you will move on to either the BSc (Hons) or the undergraduate master’s pathway depending on your aspirations and performance. Both pathways develop professional skills, knowledge and attributes through a combination of university and placement-based learning. The undergraduate master’s offer an opportunity to delve deeper into areas such as leadership, service improvement, research and public health, at a higher level.

Upon graduation, both pathways lead to eligibility for registration with the AfN as an associate nutritionist.
