CSU's Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition and Dietetics) is designed to prepare graduates to work as dietitians, in answer to the growing recognition of the importance of nutrition to public health.
A growing community and government concern with the health of Australians and the role of nutrition has raised the profile of the work of dietitians and their importance to public health. A demand exists for dietitians in rural communities and a range of research studies and professional literature indicates a need for a rural perspective to dietitian education.
Charles Sturt University's Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition and Dietetics) program is the first of its kind offered outside a metropolitan area in Australia.
Session 2 admission to the on campus offering is only available to applicants receiving appropriate credit, on approval of the Course Coordinator and subject to places being available.
Themes of the course include rural health and remote and Indigenous communities' special healthcare needs. The course has a strong nutrition and dietetics, biomedical sciences and food science focus.
This course includes practical experience through workplace learning.
CSU's Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition and Dietetics) is currently accredited by the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA). A graduate of this program is eligible to become a DAA member with dietetic qualifications, 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, which is outlined at www.daa.asn.au
