As a student dietitian at Bond University, you will benefit from interactive workshops with industry experts, personalised mentoring from academics, and exposure to a variety of food, health and business settings throughout the duration of the program.
You will undertake substantial research in nutrition and have the opportunity to graduate with an emerging research track record.
