About this program
QUT's Bachelor of Nutrition Science is a three-year undergraduate degree in the Faculty of Health, taught at the Brisbane campuses. It covers the science of nutrition and its application to individual and population health, and is a nutrition science rather than a dietetics qualification, so it does not by itself lead to dietitian registration. Graduates work as nutritionists, community and public health nutrition officers and health educators, or continue to a dietetics master's.
