About the School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences
The School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences is one of only a few schools internationally that is specifically focused on teaching and research in both nutrition and physical activity. This focus is increasingly important as poor nutrition and inadequate physical activity contribute significantly to the burden of disease, both in developed and developing countries, increasing the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis, cancer and depression.
Our aim is to provide the evidence base to promote health and improve performance, drawing on our expertise in basic science, clinical science and population health. Nutrition and dietetics has a long history at Deakin with a world-leading research profile, and degree programs in high demand taught by engaged teaching staff.
As part of the Faculty of Health, the School provides a vibrant environment for learning and conducting leading-edge research. More than 1900 students are enrolled in the School’s courses, with programs offered across three Campuses as well as off-campus and supported by more than 140 academic, research, administrative and technical staff.
