About

Learn more about human physiology, biochemistry and how nutrition affects the human body from a social, biochemical, disease and life cycle-oriented context with a UC Graduate Certificate in Human Nutrition course. Gain a deeper understanding of human nutrition through a diverse range of subjects and variety of study options.

This course is perfect for students from a broader health science background looking to specialise in nutrition science – or for those who need additional prerequisites to gain access to the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics. This course offers an alternative exit pathway for students who commence the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics, but due to lifestyle or career changes, choose not to complete the degree.

Admission criteria

  • A bachelor degree in science, or related discipline (includes health, science, applied science), as approved by the University.
  • two degree level units in chemistry.
  • two degree level units in human biology and human physiology
  • Applicants must meet the non-standard English language proficiency requirements for this course.

Bachelor of Human Nutrition graduates should apply for either the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics or Master of Nutrition as the Graduate Diploma is not suitable for you.
