Profile
Public Health Nutrition involves the promotion of good health through nutrition and the primary prevention of nutrition-related illness in the population. It focuses on applying food and nutrition knowledge, policy, and research to improve the nutritional health of the population and high-risk or vulnerable subgroups within the population. This public health nutrition degree has an international perspective. It examines how global, national and local community programs can be designed to improve the nutritional status of the population as a whole and those at particular risk. There are employment opportunities for nutrition experts in the agri-food production and retail industries, as well as in nutrition product sales and marketing. Several government agencies and bodies also employ expert nutritionists. The growing appreciation of the role of nutrition in public health is increasing the demand for graduates in public health nutrition. The study of nutrition draws on a range of subjects, including the basic sciences, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, immunology, microbiology, and physiology. The program will provide you with integrated training in the science of nutrition and its applications to human health and well-being, both at the individual and community level. You’ll learn about nutrients in food, the role of nutrients in the body, and the relationship between diet, health, and disease. The skills and competencies you’ll develop will be enhanced and reinforced by a research project in Year 3, and a 36 to 52-week professional placement in Year 4.
