Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Dietetics

Program Overview

With an increased scrutiny on eating and obesity, along with demand from both government and the public for nutritional and dietetic education, the role of dietitians has never been more important. Dietetics is the interpretation and communication of the science of nutrition, which enables people to make informed choices about food and lifestyle. Dietitians work with individuals with special dietary needs, inform the general public about nutrition, evaluate and improve treatments, and educate patients, doctors, nurses and other health professionals. This course covers the broad range of sciences that informs dietetics and is the first of its kind in the UK to award academic credit for practice placements.

  • The first UK university to award academic credit for dietetic practice placements.
  • Opportunities for practice placements in the NHS (acute and community) and, from 2019, in non-NHS settings.
  • Offers undergraduate route to qualify as a dietitian in 3 years rather than 4 years.
  • We welcome graduates who are changing direction and want to qualify as a dietitian.
  • New science labs and dedicated diet laboratory
  • Active student-led Nutrition and Dietetics Society (NADS).
  • Encouragement to participate in extracurricular volunteering.
  • Excellent record of graduates presenting at British Dietetic Association Research Symposia.
  • Active research community
