Diploma in Clinical and Community Nutrition

The Diploma in Clinical and Community Nutrition is a three-year programme designed to equip students with the knowledge and practical skills to assess nutritional needs and provide dietary interventions for both individuals and populations. Graduates are prepared to work as community nutritionists or clinical nutrition assistants, supporting healthcare teams in hospitals, public health programs, and community outreach initiatives.

The curriculum covers human physiology, biochemistry, and nutrient metabolism in the first year, progressing to medical nutrition therapy, nutritional assessment, and public health nutrition in the second year. The final year includes community diagnosis, programme planning, and management of nutrition-related diseases, along with a supervised practical attachment at a health facility or community nutrition project.
