Bachelor of Nutrition Science/Bachelor of Business Administration
Australian Catholic University
About
Nutrition Science provides an extensive knowledge and skills base in the scientific principles that underpin the study of food and nutrition, to promote health and optimal nutrition in individuals and the wider community, with the capacity to apply knowledge and skills in an ethical and respectful manner.
The degree promotes the relationship between food/nutrition and health as a major contributor to wellbeing and disease prevention through the lifespan.
Graduates will be able to demonstrate cognitive, technical and communication skills that meet the standards to undertake professional work in nutrition and the food science field.
The Bachelor of Business Administration is a general business degree without specialisation in a particular subject area.
The course is structured around 6 business foundation units which are common to other undergraduate business courses and a further 4 units that will build your business knowledge in areas such as human resource management, marketing and management.
Combining the Bachelor of Nutrition Science with the Bachelor of Business Administration will enable graduates to utilise their knowledge and skills in industry, the public service or in small business enterprises.
