The Bachelor of Nutrition / Master of Nutrition and Dietetics aims to develop your professional skills related to the practice of nutrition and dietetics to influence the management of medical conditions and enhance general wellbeing through nutritional intervention and dietary changes. Throughout this course, you will develop a high level of technical and evaluative skill so you can assess and implement recommendations for best practice in nutrition and dietetics. You will develop advanced skills and knowledge in nutritional biochemistry, nutritional physiology, food science, nutritional assessment, medical nutrition therapy, public health nutrition and food service. These skillsets can be applied in the nutrition and dietetics workplace through industry or clinical placement. The course also aims to develop high-level communication skills so that you can interact positively with patients, other health professionals or members of the community. This course combines both the Bachelor of Nutrition and the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics courses offered at CQUniversity in an integrated and fast-tracked format. It is currently representing the fastest pathway to graduate with both the undergraduate nutrition qualification and a postgraduate dietetics qualification in only 4 years. It is offered in full-time study mode only. You can commence the course online and study remotely. However, you will need to attend the North Rockhampton campus for residential schools for four days in year 2 and one day in year 3 during the Bachelor of Nutrition component, and attend compulsory weekly activities on-campus for two terms in duration during the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics component of the course.
