The Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics aims to prepare graduates with the professional and personal qualities required for future dietetic practice in a variety of workplace settings. The course integrates academic teaching and learning with clinical, population health, food service, research and management experience and is undertaken in both academic and professional practice placement settings.
On completion of this course, students will be expected to demonstrate the generic attributes of a Monash graduate and graduates will be "equipped to live, learn, work and contribute globally" (Monash Directions 2025).
The objectives of the Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics have been classified according to the four themes of the course:
Theme 1: Personal Development and Professional Practice
Theme 2: Determinants and Influences of Public Health and Nutrition
Theme 3: Nutrition Fundamentals of Health and Disease
Theme 4: Food: from science to systems
Applied and practical learning experiences will transverse all themes to support the integrated approach to the teaching and learning of the Nutrition and Dietetics course. The development of skills and knowledge in research relevant and/or applied to nutrition and dietetic practice will underpin each of the four core themes of the program.
Monash graduates work in health-care services, government sector, teaching, research, work-place health promotion, product development, marketing and promotion, food services management and nutrition care. In some cases postgraduate study may strengthen these career prospects.
