The Bachelor of Nutrition / Master of Dietetics and Food Innovation at the University of New South Wales integrates foundational knowledge with advanced professional training, preparing graduates for impactful roles in nutrition and dietetics. Over five years of full-time study in Sydney, students first build a solid grounding in human biology, biochemistry, and nutrition science through the undergraduate component, followed by comprehensive coursework and practical learning focused on dietetic practice and food innovation at the master's level.
Australian qualifications of this type combine sequenced units of study, each contributing set credit points towards graduation. The bachelor's stage is structured to provide essential scientific literacy and nutrition theory, while the master's comprises advanced units in clinical and community dietetics, food service management, and nutrition research. Students complete a capstone research project, exploring contemporary issues in food innovation or public health nutrition, fostering high-level critical thinking and investigative skills.
Significant emphasis is placed on practical, real-world experience. As part of the master's component, students undertake work-integrated learning placements in hospitals, community health settings, or the food industry, immersing them in Australia's diverse nutrition landscape and enabling them to graduate workforce-ready. Throughout the programme, students develop strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities, positioning them for success in dynamic professional environments.
This double degree suits those seeking a comprehensive education leading to qualification as a dietitian, as well as those aspiring to innovate within the evolving food sector. International students benefit from Sydney's vibrant food and healthcare industries, and may be eligible for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). During study, international students can access work rights of up to 48 hours per fortnight. Detailed information about entry requirements, including English language proficiency, is available on the official programme page.
Australian graduates are sought after in healthcare, aged care, sports, food manufacturing, and public health sectors. Always consult the official programme page for accreditation and industry placement details specific to Australia.
It typically takes 5 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
