In the BSc Nutrition and Dietetics course, both clinical nutrition and food Science are key components. However, they differ in focus—while clinical nutrition is more health and patient-centric, food Science deals with food production, safety, and processing techniques.

Here's a quick comparison:

Aspect	Clinical Nutrition	Food Science
Focus	Diet therapy, disease-specific nutrition	Food chemistry, preservation, processing
Application	Hospitals, clinics, therapeutic diets	Food industry, product development, quality control
Subjects Covered	Human physiology, therapeutic nutrition	Food microbiology, food technology, packaging
