BS Human Nutrition and Dietetics – Bahria University

BS Human Nutrition and Dietetics at Bahria University is a four-year undergraduate allied-health degree offered by the Department of Allied Health Sciences at the Bahria University Health Sciences Campus, Karachi.

Program Overview

BS Human Nutrition and Dietetics is a four-year allied-health degree at the Bahria University Health Sciences Campus in Karachi. The curriculum runs through human physiology and biochemistry, food science, macro- and micronutrients, nutrition through the life cycle, clinical and therapeutic nutrition, community and public-health nutrition, food safety, nutrition assessment and counselling, and research methods, with supervised clinical rotations in hospital dietetics departments.

It is well suited to pre-medical students who are interested in health, food and prevention, and who want a patient-facing career with shorter training than medicine. Good communication skills are essential because dietitians spend much of their time counselling.
