Key facts

In the final year of the degree, you will complete 800 hours of professional placement in general and specialist hospitals in local, regional and rural areas, as well as in a variety of community and industry settings. You will also complete 20 weeks of research.

Dietitians are specialist nutritionists who apply the science of food and nutrition to promote health, prevent and treat disease to optimise the health of individuals, groups, communities, and populations.

They are accredited to work in roles such as community and public health nutrition, clinical dietetics, food service systems management, and research.

This enables dietitians to work in settings such as community centres, hospitals, private practice, research, food industry, nursing homes, sports teams and food service.
