The BSc in Dietetics and Human Nutrition at UKZN (Pietermaritzburg) is a four-year HPCSA-accredited degree that prepares graduates to assess and address nutritional needs across the lifespan in the South African health context. South Africa faces a dual burden of malnutrition — including both undernutrition in rural communities and obesity-linked diseases in urban populations — making dietitians essential across public health, clinical, and food industry settings. Graduates complete an internship year before full professional registration, with strong employment prospects in hospitals, community health, sport, and food science.
