The Bachelor of Science / Master of Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Sydney provides an integrated pathway to become a professional dietitian. During the Bachelor of Science portion, students take core units in human biology, biochemistry, food science, nutrition science, and complete a major in Nutrition & Dietetics.
After successful completion of the Bachelor component (including required units and achieving the WAM threshold), students progress into the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics—a professional master’s taught full-time—which covers advanced dietetic training in areas such as medical nutrition therapy, food service management, public health nutrition, nutrition research, and substantial placements in clinical, community or food‐service settings.
The programme is accredited by Dietitians Australia, making graduates eligible to become full members and join the Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) Program.
The combined pathway ensures students are well‐prepared for clinical and non-clinical roles in dietetics, nutrition research, community health, hospitals, industry or food service. The coursework is research-driven, emphasising evidence-based practice and interprofessional learning.
