Nutrition plays a powerful role in health and wellbeing.

Learn how to improve the health of individuals and communities with La Trobe's Bachelor of Nutrition Science. Carefully designed to give you a thorough understanding of food and nutrition science, you'll study biosciences, food science, food policy, prevention of chronic disease and illness, food product development and nutritional needs over the lifespan.

You'll have the opportunity to specialize in an area you're passionate about, including sports nutrition, food science and gastronomy, psychology, business entrepreneurship, nutritional research, project management and more. You'll learn in commercial kitchens and modern science labs, and you'll use specialized nutrition software to do dietary analysis.

In your final year, you'll undertake a nutrition research project where you can access La Trobe's Nutrition Clinical Research Lab and explore what a career in nutrition research might be like.

The Bachelor of Nutrition Science is a pathway into La Trobe's Master of Dietetic Practice. Upon completion of your Master's degree, you may be eligible to register as a practicing dietitian.
