Dietitians are experts in nutrition who can assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutrition-related problems.
This programme will give you the knowledge, skills and behaviours to enable you to be eligible to apply to be a dietitian through the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
You’ll gain an understanding of the science and composition of food and how nutrition and diet therapy can be used to prevent and treat chronic and acute diseases that can affect people throughout their lifespan.
Through practice-based learning, you’ll work with service users to develop your newly acquired knowledge, skills and professional behaviours alongside practicing dietitians in a range of different settings, from local NHS trusts to personal trainers running their own businesses.
If you want to be a dietitian and ordinarily resident in the UK, you can apply for a grant of £5,000 per year to study this course. This doesn’t need to be paid back.
This course is accredited by the British Dietetic Association.
You’ll need a first degree (or international equivalent), normally at level 2:1 or above, in a relevant science subject such as biological or health sciences, nutrition or sport and exercise science. Human physiology and biochemistry should be studied to level 5 or equivalent in your first degree and experience of research or knowledge of research methods will be important. GCSE English and Maths C (Grade 4) or equivalent required.
Please see our additional information on prior learning requirements or contact us for a chat about your specific circumstances.
The course is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance and an Occupational Health check.

The current employment market for graduates in dietetics is strong, with excellent career paths available in not only the NHS and healthcare, but also in sports nutrition, private practice, education, academia and research, and the medical nutrition and the food and drink industry.
You’ll complete this programme with your own research project, giving you the opportunity to apply for publication in a scientific journal and broaden the nutrition evidence base further.
