Established in 2019, the Department of Human Nutrition & Dietetics is recognized for value-based education within Rehabilitation & Allied Health Sciences. Programs are designed on Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and endorsed by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan. Modern laboratories, purpose-built teaching spaces, and dedicated staff create a productive environment for study and research. The department also offers HEC-approved internship opportunities under well-trained, internationally educated dietitians—an essential step toward the registered dietitian credential.

Our curriculum integrates biochemistry and physiology with medical nutrition therapy, community nutrition, food science and technology, nutritional epidemiology, research methods, public-health nutrition, and professional practice. Learning emphasizes hands-on skills: nutritional assessment and anthropometry, individualized diet planning, therapeutic counseling, food-service management, data analysis, and adherence to professional ethics. Graduates are prepared for roles in hospitals, extended-care facilities, community programs, NGOs, wellness and industry settings, as well as for advanced study.
