Overview
The Master of Health Sciences (Nutrition and Dietetics) at University of Auckland is a programme designed to provide the specialised postgraduate training required to enable graduates to seek registration with the New Zealand Dietitians Board in order to practise as a Dietitian in New Zealand, and to provide safe and competent dietetic care in a variety of health and community settings. Dietetic care includes the provision of safe, enjoyable, nutritionally adequate and appropriate food and fluids to meet individual and population nutritional needs.
