FAQ
Membership FAQ
Degree courses are only tenable overseas from an accredited university by the Dietetics Association of the country. Depending on the country you obtain the degree leading the training as Dietitian, you may be required to take a registration examination and/or admissions interview.

To be a practising Dietitian, you must obtain one of the following:
  1. Bachelor's Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics - 3-4 years
  2. Bachelor's Degree in Nutrition - 3 years + Post-Graduate Diploma in Dietetics
  3. Bachelor's Degree in Science, majoring in Physiology and Biochemistry + Masters Degree in Dietetics - 2 years
In addition, at least 6 months of clinical internship must be completed.
Singapore Institute of Technology is offering Bachelor of Science with Honours in Dietetics and Nutrition starting from 2019. This four-year programme has been designed to meet the academic requirements and clinical competencies for entry-level professional Dietitians based on international educational standards for professional dietetic practice.

Currently, all practising Dietitians have been trained in Singapore and overseas, mainly in United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States and Malaysia. The training takes 3 to 5 years, including 6 to 12 months of clinical internship. Some local science graduates have obtained Masters' degree (2 years study) in Nutrition and Dietetics from Australian Universities.
There are various full-time nutrition-related diplomas offered by various polytechnics in Singapore. Nutritionists are usually nutrition degree or above from the main stream. Thus to be a qualified Nutritionist recognised by SNDA, you will need to undertake an undergraduate or postgraduate degree course majoring in Nutrition subjects. Most of the above mentioned universities also offer such courses.

Please take note that Graduates of the Master of Science in Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine do not qualify for the "Nutritionist" membership category.
At present, there are no statutory regulations governing the practice of nutrition and dietetics in Singapore. Nutritionists and Dietitians who are members of SNDA have to abide to our Constitution. SNDA has a Membership Subcommittee on the registration of professionals.
At present, no registration or licensure is needed for one to practice dietetics in Singapore. However, to work in a hospital or clinical institution, a Dietitian is required to show documentation of his/her qualification before employment.
Applicants are required to complete the online membership registration form and send it together with the supporting documents and registration fee to SNDA.

SNDA Membership Subcommittee will review the qualifications of applicants before approving their membership applications. The approval process takes 3 months. Only upon notification of approval can they regard themselves as an SNDA member.
