Overview
The Master of Dietetics (MDiet) is an internationally recognised qualification which follows completion of a BSc, BASc, or BAppSc in Human Nutrition.
There is growing interest in food, nutrition and health in New Zealand and worldwide. Dietitians apply nutritional science to guide food choices, promoting health and treating disease. Using current research they plan and implement practical and effective ways of managing food and nutrition – both for individuals and for groups of people. Many people with chronic or acute diseases benefit from the services a dietitian offers.
