About this program

The Bachelor of Human Movement, Bachelor of Nutrition and Food Science at Adelaide University is a four-year double degree designed to equip students with comprehensive knowledge across both physical activity and nutritional science. Students undertake units of study in areas such as anatomy, exercise physiology, health promotion, food science, dietetics, and public health. With course structure organised through semesters, learners typically accumulate credit points towards completion, engaging in core units as well as a selection of electives tailored to their interests and career aspirations.

The programme may incorporate work-integrated learning or professional placements, particularly valuable in Australia's health, sporting, and food industries.

Graduates develop a skillset encompassing nutritional assessment, exercise prescription, disease prevention, food safety, health communication, and project management. The course is suitable for those interested in understanding the vital links between diet, exercise, and wellbeing, those planning to work in allied health, wellness, or food industries, and those considering postgraduate study or research.
