The Master of Nutrition and Dietetics provides professional education for dietitians/nutritionists and is a 2-year full time program. It builds on major concepts from the study of human biochemistry and physiology, nutrition science and food science to discuss the roles of nutrients, foods and dietary patterns in health and disease.

The program includes all the units of study to ensure dietetics competence can be reached including public health, medical nutrition therapy, food service management, communication, business management, and research and evaluation. The units of study are supervised by a Program Committee in Nutrition and Dietetics, chaired by the Head of School.

Graduates of the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics are eligible to apply for admission to a research degree (Doctor of Philosophy). The Master of Nutrition and Dietetics is currently accredited by the Dietitians Australia (DA).

A graduate of this program is eligible to become a full member of DA and to join the Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) Program. The University is required to maintain a current accreditation status as outlined in the accreditation process available on the Dietitians Australia (DA) website.
