The BSc in Dietetics at Nelson Mandela University is a four-year professional degree that prepares graduates for registration as dietitians with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). Students study human nutrition, food science, biochemistry, clinical dietetics, and community nutrition, with extensive practical placements in South African hospitals and community health settings. South Africa faces a dual burden of malnutrition — both undernutrition and diet-related chronic diseases — making qualified dietitians essential contributors to the public health system and clinical care.
