Hi, My name is Hannah Mayr and I’m studying Nutrition and Dietetics here at QUT.

I chose to study Nutrition and Dietetics because I grew up in a family that emphasised healthy living. I really love QUT because of the real world practical components of my course. My learning isn’t just in the classroom.

The Dietetics profession is really diverse so it’s really great to try a wide range of things in my subjects. Studying body parts, cooking or trying new foods from different countries. And I find it really beneficial to listen to lecturers who have actually worked out in the real world and they can give me real examples of things that they’ve experienced, like Naturopaths, Epidemiologist, Dieticians and Scientists.

At the end of my course I will be an accredited practicing Dietician and a member of the Dieticians Association of Australia ready to work alongside other professionals in hospitals and health clinics treating and preventing diseases and promoting health in the community.
