You'll study subjects like human nutrition, biochemistry, physiology, and food science, as well as practical aspects like diet planning and food service management. Upon graduation, you can register as a licensed dietitian or nutritionist and work in various settings, such as hospitals, clinics, public health organizations, or private practice. With a strong foundation in science and a growing demand for healthcare professionals, a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics can lead to a fulfilling and in-demand career.
