Hello,

Dietitian and microbiology both are different subject. Dietitian mainly the course of nutrition and diet basis. And microbiology you have to know about the bacteria, fangi, viruses, protozoa etc.

You are completed you BSC in dietitian but you want to do MSc in microbiology. You can do it if you are getting 55% marks in your graduation degree. But I'll suggest you can go for MSc in food science or MSc in nutrition. It will be better because your subject will be change or not change but your course purpose will be same. Now choice is totally yours which subject you choose for masters degree.

All the best.

Hello student ,

If we talk about clinical nutritionist and dietitian then clinical nutritionist uses a holistic approach to healing , taking into his consideration of the person's body in whole mind , body and soul and has practiced it on different patient .

Where as  clinical dietitians use knowledge in the science of nutrition to advise on appropriate diet, food and menu planning to treat nutrition related disease and has practiced it clinically on the patients .

And if we talk about normal nutrionist and dietitian then normal nutrionist are those who would have only know to guide people about healthy eating habits to improve health and prevent disease , but didn't had practiced on the basis of clinically same as normal dietitian guide us about the science of nutrition and advises others about healthy eating but has not practiced it clinically .

Hope you find this helpful .
