Program overview
Our fast-track trimester timetable makes it easy to tackle a double degree at Bond. In fact, you can complete two degrees here in less time than you could graduate with just one at most other universities.
Bond’s Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice enables graduates to become eligible to join Dietitians Australia’s Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) Program.
The Bachelor of Biomedical Science is a broad-based degree designed to develop your understanding of the molecular, cellular, anatomical, and physiological processes that occur in the human body, providing the perfect pathway into the Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice.
Bond’s Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice is the highest-level nutrition and dietetic master’s degree available in Australia. Benefit from the program’s exceptional 20-week research internship with a focus on global nutrition citizenship and gain 24 weeks of practical internship experience in traditional areas of practice such as clinical dietetics. Gain that competitive edge in the job market by completing this AQF extended Level 9 master’s degree in a compact timeframe of two years. Before entering the workforce, students can prepare for the program and accreditation requirements through our program charter.
Studying both programs at Bond will enable you to develop your knowledge and skills across a range of disciplines including anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology, pharmacology, chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, microbiology and nutrition and health.

About this program
The Bachelor of Biomedical Science is a 2-year accelerated degree that provides you with the ideal undergraduate foundation for a career in the health sciences. The program develops your knowledge of the molecular, cellular, anatomical, and physiological processes of the human body and prepares you for graduate-entry programs such as medicine and the allied health professions. The program will develop your knowledge and laboratory skills across a range of disciplines, including anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology, pharmacology, chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, and microbiology. Extensive laboratory training from the first semester, as well as case studies and problem-solving techniques, are applied within a variety of clinical, research, and allied healthcare settings. The program focuses on real-world learning, where you will gain exceptional, high-quality, practical experience in our health science laboratories. You will be able to develop and master technical-scientific and research skills using some of the latest research equipment from the very first semester. Due to Bond University’s small class sizes, you will be able to enjoy extensive use of this equipment to develop and refine your practical skills. The laboratories have dedicated laboratory staff to provide support and optimise your learning experience. An innovative feature of the program is the application of problem-based learning in the curriculum, a popular feature in medical programs that creates an engaging student learning experience to increase analytical reasoning and critical thinking skills.
This postgraduate professional program is designed to develop graduates to be work-ready for careers in nutrition and dietetics across practice areas including clinical dietetics, private practice, food service management, public health nutrition, sports nutrition, and nutrition research. This program develops student competencies to exceed the accreditation requirements of the Dietitians Association of Australia, making graduates eligible to apply for accredited practising dietitian (APD) status within the Dietitians Association of Australia. This program is distinctive because of its emphasis on developing evidence-based practitioners that have had intensive preparation in evidence-based dietetic practice, nutrition research, and international engagement. All students will be required to participate in an international placement as part of their program.
