Best courses for Nutrition, Dietetics degrees, top Australian Universities


Australia offers  some of the best places to study about the benefits of food to human health . Bachelor university degrees in ( BSc)  Dietetics or  Nutrition offer  a career opportunities  in the health care, fitness , food and nutrition industries  as a dietitian ( dietician), nutritionist in hospitals, clinics or private practice. Some enlightened doctors and nurses who realize their standard medical or nursing degrees  do not teach much about the value of food and nutrition in  wellness and healing. They then choose  to do additional  study  for  a Bachelor in Nutrition  as a supplementary degree to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the role of food, nutrition in wellness, healing  and health maintenance.

Anecdotal evidence  indicates many doctors  ignore or are ignorant of  the vital role  food and nutrition plays in wellness.  These doctors are illness focused and so  almost exclusively use drugs and  drastic surgical procedures to ‘ cure ‘ diseases…… Naturopaths, Nutritionist and dieticians take a different view and emphasise the importance of  food in the wellness and healing.  Much like Traditional Chinese medicine, they also believe that FOOD IS  the BEST  MEDICINE . Nutrition and Dietetics may sometimes be offered under a Bachelor of Health Science degree course.  If you want advice on the effects of food on health, it may be better  to consult anutritionist  or Dietician, not a  person with just a plain old medical degree.  Food is the best medicine is the mantra of Nutritionist, Dietitians and Traditional Chinese Medicine  doctors, not modern medicine physicians. Dietics  is correctly spelt as dietetics.

Difference between dietitian ( dietician) and nutritionist?

Nutritionists  study   for at least 3 years at university (which typically  doesn’t include a 6 month practical stage) compared to Dietitian who  generally  trains for  4 to 5 years at uni  (inclusive of practical component of at least 6 months).   An exception  would be for an  academic/ research nutritionist, who may have a doctorate or masters in nutritional research.
