Overview

In this course, you will be welcomed into the nutrition, dietetic and food innovation profession and will be provided with opportunities to explore your potential career options. The UNSW Dietetics and Food Innovation program is unique in Australia in that it will prepare you for a wide scope of practice in clinical settings, industry, government and not-for-profit organisations, as well as for traditional dietetic practice. It will also prepare you for the changes that traditional dietetic practice is undergoing due to evolving population health needs and expectations, social norms, technological advancements and climate change. Part of the course will address the essential legal and ethical requirements for practise as an Accredited Practising Dietitian in Australia.
