Nelson Mandela University NMU Department of Dietetics

With nutrition acknowledged as a key to the future of modern medicine, dietetics is one of the world’s fastest-growing professions. It’s also a career in which you can make a difference by providing communities with knowledge and advice on nutrition to improve quality of life.

Today, with so much misinformation about foodstuffs in the marketplace, the importance of the role of dietitians is even more critical.
