Course Description

Our two-year Dietetics MSc course combines academic knowledge with practice to help you become a competent, passionate, autonomous dietitian. You will be equipped to deliver evidence-based, service-user centred dietetic care, and innovative public health nutrition initiatives, across a wide range of client groups and working environments.

This two-year Dietetics MSc will set you up with the knowledge, skills, and competencies to apply for full registration as a dietitian with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

The programme's defining approach is to make coherent connections between research and practice to strengthen your future role, influence, and impact as a dietician.

You will have the opportunity to apply academic knowledge, develop your clinical skills, and become a highly reflective practitioner, working within UCL's world-leading centres of excellence. Your practice will be underpinned by the latest research to maintain your credibility and profile. Independent critical thought and continuing professional development will also be encouraged. 

A unique point of the programme is the important links between UCL and our partners. You will be exposed to state-of-the-art nutritional and dietetic research, working on projects from the hospital bedside to national public health policy making.
