BSc (Nutrition) Nutritional Sciences Public Health Nutrition BSc (Nutrition): This four-year programme will provide f some specialisation in the third and fourth years of study by means of two options. The University of Pretia is in the process of registering the Public Health Nutrition option with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). Students following the Nutritional Sciences option will be able to register as natural scientists with SACNASP and will be able to continue with a research-based MSc in Nutrition. The proposed programme will replace the existing BSc programme in Nutrition and Food Science. Students who wish to be selected to be admitted to the third year of Public Health Nutrition will have to apply at the CSC during the second year of registration with closing date 30 July of the preceding year. Only students who have passed all first and second-year prescribed and elective modules will be considered f selection. : The need f graduates with training in nutrition is driven by the wldwide recognition that food does not only meet basic nutrition needs, but also plays a key role in the promotion and maintenance of long-term good health. Graduates from this four-year transdisciplinary programme will be able to specialise either as community nutritionists (registered with the HPCSA) as nutritional scientists.

Some agricultural economists are traders on global financial markets and wk at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in Sandton at Wall Street in New Yk. Some other agricultural economists wk f banks and in finance, at food processs such as bakers and brewers, while others advise farmers and input suppliers. Some agricultural economists wk f the government, advising them on how to ensure that there is enough food f all the people in the country, while other agricultural economists wk in commercial banks, advising clients and managers how to manage finance, risk and commodity markets. Agricultural economists also play a vital part in research and development in the agricultural sect. Agricultural economists travel a lot and meet many interesting people. They travel both locally and to most other parts of the wld, such as Africa, the USA, China, South America, Australia and Europe. They do this to buy the best inputs to produce food and clothing, but also to identify and understand markets f products. Therefe an agricultural economist is somebody who is interested in people and their culture, in nature, but also in business and management. An agricultural economist needs to be able to interact with people, but also use statistics and mathematics to understand the interaction between people, nature and the economy.
