If research is your passion, you can pursue this in your final semester and complete an innovative project alongside leading Australian dietetic researchers with national and international impact. Youll also have the potential to contribute to published scientific literature. Youll undertake approximately 850 hours of supervised practice in hospitals, community centres, aged care facilities, the food industry and other organisations.
