Yes, graduates can start working in entry-level roles such as diet assistants, nutrition counselors, or food service supervisors in hospitals and wellness clinics after BSc Nutrition and Dietetics. Some hospitals may require an internship or basic experience.

To handle more clinical responsibilities, you may need further specialisation or postgraduate education. However, with strong communication skills and practical exposure, many fresh graduates can find relevant roles soon after completing the course.
