Staying healthy is not only about regular exercise and avoiding smoking. It's about how and what you eat or drink. Dietitians and Nutritionists help people improve their health and lifestyle by advising on dietary choices and programs.
As an ECU undergraduate, you can expect the best overall student experience of any of the 38 public universities in Australia. More about QILT.
ECU is one of the best unis in Australia for teaching. We've had 18 straight years of 5-star ratings in the Good Universities Guide to prove it!
We're ranked one of the world's best universities under 50 years old, and we've already established a global reputation for such a young institution.
Dietitians are public health experts in food and diet who understand how diet, nutrition, and supplements affect your body and your health.

Do you have any questions about the Nutrition & Dietetics study discipline?
I'm so grateful I was able to do a practicum placement.
My placement was significant to my success and led to my dream job at Foodbank WA. This wouldn't have been possible without help from my lecturers.
Becoming a dietitian was the perfect career for me
The clinical placements have allowed me to put all of the theory I've learnt into practice. My eyes have been opened to what working as a Clinical Dietitian involves and it has only made me more excited for my future career.
