About
The Bachelor of Nutrition and Bachelor of Science (Psychology) will give you a broad and coherent theoretical and technical knowledge of both Nutrition and Psychology.
The course considers the complex interplay between psychology and nutrition and its application in real-world contexts. You will learn how to conduct research in the nutrition and psychological sciences and learn how to communicate professionally. You will also develop an awareness of ethical, professional and social responsibility in the nutrition and psychology disciplines and gain an understanding of social and cultural diversity in our communities. This course prepares you for a career in nutrition and the psychological sciences.
The psychology aspects of the degree are useful for careers which require a sound understanding of human behaviour such as eating disorders and other food-related health conditions. The course is delivered in accordance with the foundational (level one) competencies for three-year undergraduate psychology programs as specified by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC).
There will be opportunities for you to explore applied and professional uses of psychology. In addition, you will be introduced to psychological theory, research, and applied and professional uses of psychology in an ethical and culturally responsive context. You will need to undertake further study to qualify as a Psychologist.
