In third year you focus on food science, nutrition through the lifecycle, and nutrition research methods. You can study a major in human physiology, genetics, microbiology or biochemistry, or choose subjects in public health and other disciplines. This course also provides prerequisites for entry into postgraduate courses. The qualification awarded on graduation is recognised in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) as Level 7. Career outcomes Graduates are likely to find work in food science, health science, and animal and human nutrition, or in the biological science field.
