We have extensive links with the dietetic profession in South Australia, Tasmania and Northern Territory, many of whom you will meet in the classroom or on placements. We use a range of teaching methods and many topics rely on students working together in small groups with readings and study questions or on applied projects rather than traditional lectures.

Practicum opportunities: Placements are available in Adelaide city and surrounding suburbs and Tasmania, as well as rural and remote locations either in South Australia or the Northern Territory.

In most cases, a Bachelor’s degree in food and nutrition from a university program that has been accredited by Dietitians of Canada will meet these conditions.

Applicants must also submit a statement outlining their interest in the course and profession, and evidence of any relevant employment experience.  Applicants will be ranked for admission on the basis of a selection score which is a combination of academic merit (70%) and assessment of their statement of interest and experience (30%).
