Course summary

Understand how nutrients are used in the body, their effect on health and diseases, and use your expertise to advise on healthy lifestyles.

Dietitians strive to provide the best possible nutritional care for clients with acute and chronic health conditions.

As part of this course, you’ll:

Learn to interpret and communicate the science of nutrition

Understand how to use dietary manipulation and food to treat disease and optimise health

Gain practical experience in our modern health science, clinical skills and catering laboratories

The Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) regulates dietetics. The title of Dietitian is protected by law. This means that anyone who uses a designated title must be on the HCPC Register. Successful completion of the BSc (Hons) Dietetics course will give you the eligibility to apply for registration with the HCPC after you graduate.

Occupational Health clearance and compliance with standard NHS immunisations requirements is mandatory and essential for placement attendance.

Teaching & Learning

Independent study is a crucial part of learning at university and you will be required to undertake many hours of self-directed research and reading, and preparation and writing of assessments. Your course is delivered through a number of modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study. Our subject-specific librarians will be on hand to direct you to the specialist learning and study-skill resources. You’ll also be assigned an academic advisor to give you tailored feedback and support.

Career Prospects

This course is highly vocational and will give you the expertise to work as a dietitian. Professional development modules will refine your employability and will give you a number of transferable skills. Excellent career options will be available to you - around 70 per cent of our recent graduates started their professional careers working for the NHS, while the remainder secured nutrition-related roles or entered further education within six months of graduation. You could also use your expertise to work in the media, within the food industry or in education.
