Overview

Master of Nutrition and Dietetics

Nutritionists are scientists who attain, maintain and promote the public's health through nutrition research, communication of nutrition information or public health forums. 

Dietitians are specialist nutritionists who, in addition to these research and public health roles, are accredited to work with individuals and groups to help improve their health outcomes and quality of life. 

This occurs in the community, hospitals, private practice, research, and food service settings. 

You will undertake clinical experience in general and specialist hospitals in local, regional and rural areas and in various community and industry settings.

This course at UOW is designed to meet the core fields of competency, including the critical areas of professional practice and improving nutrition outcomes for individuals, groups, and communities.

It also focuses on critical thinking, evidence-based practice, and stakeholder collaboration.

These skills can be applied to all practice areas, including clinical dietetics in hospitals and private practice, community and public health nutrition, food service systems management, and research.
