Course summary

Both the PgD and MSc Dietetics degrees are approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and are also accredited by the British Dietetic Association. During the programme students are educated to be responsive practitioners, able to adapt to the changing needs of society. The course is designed to produce critically thinking and reflective professionals who have comprehensive theoretical knowledge, along with a spirit of enquiry and an analytical and creative approach to problem solving. Postgraduate Diploma in Dietetics: This contains the taught academic element, which is closely aligned to the BSc (Hons) Human Nutrition and Dietetics programme and three periods of practical training on placements within the NHS. On completion students can graduate with a Postgraduate Diploma in Dietetics, which leads to eligibility to apply to the HCPC to register as a Dietitian. The taught academic part of the course contains six modules at Level 7 (Masters). In addition, students study professional body modules (Level 5) in order to fulfil the requirements of the Health and Care Professions Council and the British Dietetic Association curriculum guidelines. These include Psychology and Sociology. Please note: Applications remain open until the course reaches maximum capacity. Applicants who submit an application, but who don't provide all compulsory documents, will not be considered. Masters in Dietetics: The MSc Dietetics can only accept applicants who have already achieved a PgDip Dietetics as it only offers the modules that comprise the Master’s Project​. This module is self-directed research, with contact points with the tutor throughout the year. Many students complete the Masters degree while working within the NHS so flexibility with contact is required.
