Bachelor of Science (Nutrition and Food Science)
In this course, you will not only learn the science behind nutrition but also how you can improve the nutritional status of populations. You'll also develop high-level communication and teamwork skills.
Your first year is interprofessional and taken with other health sciences students. In your second year, you will choose between two streams: Nutrition or Food Science.
Nutrition
In this stream, you will develop your understanding of the associations between diet and health outcomes. You’ll explore the social and cultural influences that impact dietary decisions within populations. You’ll also conduct a nutrition research project.
Course outcomes from the Nutrition stream meet entry requirements for Curtin’s Master of Dietetics course.
Food Science
This course is the only undergraduate course in Western Australia offering a stream in food science. In this stream, you will focus on the nature and chemical composition of foods, ingredient behaviour under different processing conditions, and the application of this knowledge to improve the safety and quality of food.
You’ll undertake multiple field trips throughout the course and a work placement with an external organisation.
