A good science major for someone interested in health and nutrition? (1 Viewer)

[iheart1]

I am currently at UNSW and am transferring Comm/sci instead of comm law next semester. I like business but I have always been super passionate about healthy eating, exercise nutrition etc.
I see USYD has nutrition and metabolism as a major but UNSW science doesn't seem to have anything like that.
Can someone help please?
I either want to go into medicine or nutrition postgrad and apply my business skills to that. I love economics too.
Thankyou

Look at the handbook and go through the major lists there, see what interests you.

i did, but nothing does lol i was wondering if something is 'code' for health sciences

Well, if nothing else - look again at the majors list, click them and see what courses you'll do and read the course descriptions.

i dont think you can combine with commerce but they have a list of electives that include some of the courses you have already done. if not you could do the food science major for b sci and it would be pretty similar and go well with business. also you get to eat food in class ive heard ^_^ physiology would also be a good major related to metabolism and medicine
