About Nutrition And Dietetics
Nutrition and Dietetics is a four to five year undergraduate programme that equips students with the scientific knowledge and practical skills needed to understand how food and nutrients affect human health. Students study biochemistry, food science, clinical nutrition, community nutrition, and medical dietetics, gaining hands-on experience through hospital and community postings. Graduates are trained to assess nutritional status, design therapeutic meal plans, and promote healthy eating across diverse populations. Career opportunities in Nigeria include working as clinical dietitians in hospitals, public health nutritionists in government agencies, nutrition consultants in the food industry, and academic researchers. Graduates are eligible for registration with the Dietitians Association of Nigeria and the Allied Health Professions Registration Board of Nigeria, both of which regulate professional practice nationwide.
