Graduate Diploma in Nutritional Science
University of Canberra, Canberra, ACT, Australia
About this program
The University of Canberra's Graduate Diploma in Nutritional Science is a 24 credit point course covering nutrition through the lifespan, public health nutrition, and the evidence base for dietary advice. It is a science and public health qualification rather than a clinical dietetics degree, so it does not lead to registration as a dietitian. It can articulate into further postgraduate nutrition study. Entry normally requires a bachelor's degree with some biological science. It suits health, fitness and food-industry professionals who want a solid grounding in nutrition science.
