B.Sc Home Science with specialization in Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics is a comprehensive program that combines foundational knowledge in biological and social sciences with advanced study in nutrition and dietetics. The curriculum begins with core subjects such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, psychology, and sociology, providing students with a holistic understanding of human health and behavior. These foundational courses lay the groundwork for more specialized study in nutrition science and its applications.
As students progress, they delve deeper into the intricacies of nutrition, exploring topics such as metabolism, macro and micronutrients, and lifecycle nutrition. The program places a strong emphasis on food science and technology, covering areas like food chemistry, microbiology, and preservation techniques. This knowledge is crucial for understanding how different foods affect the human body and how they can be used to promote health and prevent disease.
Clinical nutrition forms a significant part of the coursework, preparing students for careers in healthcare settings. Students learn about medical nutrition therapy, diet planning for various diseases, and nutrition assessment techniques. This is complemented by training in public health nutrition, which includes community nutrition, nutrition education and counseling, and the development of nutrition policies and programs. The curriculum also incorporates research methodology, equipping students with the skills to conduct and interpret nutrition-related research.
Practical training is a key component of the program, with students participating in laboratory work, internships, and community outreach programs. This hands-on experience allows them to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. We as an institution believe in producing competent nutritionists & dietetic professionals by imparting quality education and vocational training and skills giving wide exposure to nuances of Nutrition & Dietetics.
