As more and more businesses require future food and nutrition employees to possess competent research skills, the UC Bachelor of Human Nutrition (Honours) course will give you the skills, qualifications, and confidence to stand out and be recognised.
This 1-year program offers an additional option to those already studying an undergraduate degree in a health or nutrition-related field and already possess the necessary marks to articulate into an honours program. A significant component of this course will also involve choosing and completing a tailor-made research thesis under the direct supervision and support of your research supervisor and course Convenor.
In researching this thesis, you'll refine your research and technical skills; learn about the applications of food and nutritional sciences, epidemiological techniques, public health issues and be introduced to technologies that will assist you to assess the latest food science and human nutrition literature.
