理学学士（营养与食品科学）

了解营养科学，以及如何促进健康的饮食习惯以改善人群的营养状况。这门基于科学的课程为您提供高水平的沟通和团队合作能力。您的第一年将是跨专业的，并将与其他健康科学专业的学生一起学习。您的第二年将以此为基础，并且您将学习生物化学和生理学等科学知识，以了解人体如何利用食物中的营养物维持生命。校外实地考察还将帮助您在现实生活中体验食物和营养问题。在课程的第二年，您将在两个流派之间进行选择：营养和食品科学。营养流进一步发展您对饮食与健康结果之间关联的证据的理解，并且您将探索影响人群中饮食决策的社会和文化影响。您还将进
Learn about the science of nutrition and how to promote healthy diet behaviours to improve the nutritional status of populations. This science-based course provides you with high-level communication and teamwork skills. Your first year will be interprofessional and taken with other health sciences students. Your second year builds on this foundation and you will study sciences such as biochemistry and physiology in order to understand how the human body uses nutrients from foods to sustain life. Off-campus field trips will also help you experience food and nutrition issues in real-life settings. In the second year of the course you will choose between two streams: Nutrition and Food Science. The Nutrition stream further develops your understanding of the evidence of associations between diet and health outcomes, and you will explore the social and cultural influences that impact dietary decisions within the population. You will also conduct a nutrition research project. Graduate nutritionists typically undertake further study to specialise in a professional area, including dietetics, research, food science and technology, health promotion or teaching. In the Food Science stream you will focus on the nature and chemical composition of foods, ingredient behaviour under different processing conditions, and the application of this knowledge of food science to improve the safety and quality of food. Nutrition and food scientists are also involved in the research and development of new food products and new technologies in the processing of foods. You will undertake a work placement with an external organisation which may be a government, research or food industry organisation. Students in the Food Science stream undertake a practicum in their final semester of the course. Compulsory field trips are conducted throughout the course.
