Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Nutrition)

What is a Bachelor of Health Science in Clinical Nutrition?
The Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Nutrition) covers the impact of nutritional, dietary and lifestyle factors on health, and how therapeutic nutritional intervention can achieve wellbeing. You will graduate prepared to confidently start clinical nutrition practice in the community and join the Allied Health Profession as a Certified Practicing Nutritionist.

In this course, you will learn the foundations of health science, including human biology, physiology and pathology, as well as the basics of research and evidence-based practice. You’ll study how food and other dietary factors can be used to improve wellbeing at an individual, community or population level. Under the guidance of experienced nutritionists, you will gain hands-on experience treating public patients at our custom-built student-led clinic, The Practice Wellbeing Centre. Work-Integrated Learning and clinical practicum experience are embedded throughout the course and are incorporated into theory subjects.

Clinic practical hours are 100% on campus, clinic subjects are made up of a combination of theory and clinic practical. Certain health funds providing clinical nutrition rebates have a requirement for at least 25% of subjects to include on campus delivery, for which the Torrens University Clinical Nutrition degree complies.
