As part of our ongoing commitment to producing the best graduates we can, we require new students to have undertaken some learning prior to enrolling on MNU.

Part of this is simply an increased exposure to both good, and not so good, nutrition information, teaching, coaching etc. Just as the process of improving an individuals nutrition is a journey, so is the process of becoming an excellent practitioner.

Despite the fact that some of the allowed pre-requisites teach less than perfect content, we feel that this ‘exposure’ will give a deeper understanding of the correct, evidence-based content that is taught on MNU.

MNU is centred around qualifying the next generation of practitioners. A paradigm shift in the industry to have the most well-known practitioners working under an evidence-based umbrella with a first do no harm attitude. However, if you simply want to learn about nutrition for yourself & your family, we will be releasing a new ‘laypersons’ course (MN School of Nutrition). This will also be added to the pre-requisite list in case people decide later that they want to take their learning further. You can register your interest in and get more information on the MN School of Nutrition course by clicking HERE.

Below is a fairly extensive example list of pre-requisites. You will have to prove your completion of said course/experience so please ensure you are able to do this before attempting to enrol on MNU.
