Food is fundamental to our wellbeing as a society. New approaches to production and processing of food, as well as to our diet, are key for health and sustainability.

The Australian food and beverage industry exports $40 billion a year and is growing rapidly. There is a high demand for food and nutrition scientists able to tackle today's challenges and meet tomorrows global needs.

Our Bachelor of Food and Nutrition Science prepares you to educate and innovate with food. You will: 

  • tackle global issues like food security and population health to help feed the world into the future
  • learn about food systems and production from ‘farm-gate to fork’
  • gain hands-on experience through 120 hours of placement in a food, nutrition or health organisation
  • learn how to design, formulate, produce, package and market foods under industry conditions
  • develop the skills to use and alter food to combat diet-related health issues
  • experiment with chemical composition and flavour combinations in the lab
  • explore ways of developing sustainable, nutritious, safe and healthy food supplies.
You could work in public health advertising, developing food and nutrition policy, regulations and resources. You might pursue microbiology and increase the nutrient density of plant-based protein products. Perhaps you’ll take on a role in food quality assurance, waste management or education. You’ll also be eligible to apply for registration as an associate nutritionist, or could use the program as a pathway into dietetics.
