To be considered for admission, applicants must have completed a three-year Bachelor's degree or recognised equivalent from an accredited institution. The Master of Science in Nutrition and Biomedicine is designed to attract students at a multidisciplinary level. We welcome graduates in nutrition and encourage students from other natural sciences and related disciplines who share an interest in nutritional and biomedical issues. However, a thorough understanding of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics is essential for a successful completion of the course.
