Adequate nutrition is a prerequisite for human growth and development. Nutrition is also fundamental for the socio-economic growth and development of the nation. Malawi has a double burden of malnutrition with one of the highest rates of undernutrition and rising rates of overweight and obesity and their negative impact on health. The goal of the programme is to train competent professionals equipped to address both in-hospital and community nutrition challenges. Malawi is one of the few countries in sub-Saharan Africa to have an institution that is housing this programme. The Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics is a four-year honours degree programme. A total of 480 credits are required for graduation.
