Nutrition and dietetics - Engage our students

Nutrition partnerships: project support

Duration: 1 year

We offer co-funded partnerships with community organisations, eductaional institutions, and industry, to deliver nutrition projects.

These projects are delivered by staff who also supervise the students.

Honours projects

Duration: 6 months

The Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics offers high-performing students an opportunity to complete a 24 week honours project in their final year.

This in-depth research project can investigate any nutrition-related topic with the intent to submit a paper for publication upon conclusion.

Honours projects span clinical as well as community-based research and are co-supervised by our academic staff.

Proposals for honours projects can be submitted at any time, and students make their project selections in December for the following year.  

Independent studies projects

Duration: 5 weeks full-time

Independent studies projects are short projects undertaken within a 10-week block.

These can take any form and may be on any topic related to food and nutrition. Some examples include: development of nutrition resources, brief evaluations, and brief reviews of the evidence.

Project submissions can be received from the community throughout the year. A list is compiled in November for selection by students for the following year, with projects held across the year from January to November.
