Nutrition and Dietetics is a dynamic health science programme that equips students with in-depth knowledge of food composition, human metabolism, clinical nutrition, and the relationship between diet and disease prevention. Students explore subjects including biochemistry, food microbiology, community nutrition, therapeutic dietetics, and public health, preparing them for evidence-based practice across various healthcare settings. Graduates are eligible for registration with the Nutritionists and Dietitians Registration Board of Nigeria (NDRBN), which regulates professional practice nationwide. Career opportunities span clinical dietetics in hospitals, public health nutrition with government agencies, food industry consultancy, and academic research. With Nigeria's growing burden of malnutrition and diet-related diseases, qualified dietitians remain highly sought-after professionals contributing meaningfully to national healthcare delivery and food policy development.
