Units indexed by faculty Honours Degree of the Bachelor of Nutrition and DieteticsCourse Code: 3865 + Course Abbreviation: BNutrDiet(Hons) + Total credit points required: 48 + 1 year full-time Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Clayton) Course descriptionThe honours program is an additional year of study which builds upon the knowledge and experience gained in the Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics. It allows students to develop their research skills and competencies, learn specific techniques and gain a deeper understanding of a selected aspect of human nutrition. The program consists of an individual major research project and a compulsory coursework component. Students undertake a research project under the supervision of an approved member of the academic or research staff. The choice of project and supervisor will be organised by the student in consultation with potential supervisors and the Honours Year advisor. This allows a high level of flexibility in the type of research project that can be undertaken, while focusing on the general area of human nutrition and health. The research project will constitute the major portion of the students' work. In addition all students will complete two components of the course that are not directly related to their specific research projects. One of these components will be a seminar series ranging broadly across different areas of human nutrition and the other will consist of a lecture series that will focus on the development of key research skills.
