About this course

 

For science graduates, the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics will launch you straight into a career as a dietitian. With practical training in human nutrition plus access to eminent dietitians, this highly regarded postgraduate course will bring you to the forefront of dietetic and nutrition research and practice.

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

The two-year course builds on major concepts from the study of human biochemistry and physiology to discuss the roles of nutrients, nutritional contents of food and diet in health and disease. The program covers all the content and skills needed for you to become a career-ready professional across public health, medical nutrition therapy, food service management, communication, management, and research and evaluation.

The Master of Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Sydney draws on the expertise of researchers and clinicians in nutrition science, public health, medicine and dietetics. Being in central Sydney gives us the advantage of calling on external guest lecturers. We have access to members of the Science and Medicine faculties and utilise leading University teaching hospitals (Sydney and rural if preferred) for placement experiences. Our master’s program includes a full semester of supervised research training which meets requirements for entry to a PhD.

Our academics teach from a research-driven base but understand the importance of the translation of the research into evidence-based dietetic practice.
