The Dietetics study programme aims to equip life science and nutrition graduates with the knowledge, skills and professional attitudes required to practice as a Registered Dietitian.
Being surrounded by lecturers who are extremely passionate about Dietetics has made the course only more enjoyable.
Registered dietitians are qualified health professionals who assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutrition problems in society. They translate public health and scientific research on food, health and disease into practical guidance enabling people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices.
The MSc pathway is a two-year course that requires modules totalling 285 credits. Part of the course is spent in clinical practice through placements and will provide you with unique opportunities to develop your clinical skills and improve your employability.
