Summary
Our MSc /PGDip in Nutrition Science and Practice is a (mostly) online part time course. It is a total nutrition practitioner training, validated by the Health Sciences University and accredited by the Nutritional Therapy Education Council (NTEC).
The Nutrition Science Access Course (which is available from the February) is taught online and is designed to equip you with the basic science you need before starting the MSc/PGDip in September. This is not a stand-alone course, can only be taken if you are moving on to the MSc/PGDip.
During the first two teaching years you will learn all the theory and practical skills you need to become a fully qualified nutrition practitioner, and upon successful completion of the two taught years you will be able to join the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and start to practice. In your third year you will complete your MSc dissertation which is home study with the support of a supervisor. Or you can exit with a PGDip at the end of Year 2.
Teaching is mostly live online teaching (there are two taught weekends at the beginning of Years 1 and 2). Theoretical learning is at weekends and the online clinic is on Mondays. This is a part-time course however there is a considerable amount of home study with a guidance of 20 hours per week.
The course is open to students who have an initial undergraduate degree or can prove degree equivalent learning. Eligible students studying on the MSc and living in England, will be able to access a postgraduate student loan.
This is open to students from overseas.

The programme is taught and assessed at postgraduate level. Applicants need to demonstrate that they will thrive on the academic and practical aspects of the programme, and that they will be ready and able when they qualify to take on the responsibilities of professional practitioners utilising nutrition. All these aspects are assessed carefully as part of our selection process. The College assesses all applicants for their ability to work as effective and ethical practitioners. 1 An equivalent to an honours degree is any qualification recognised as equivalent.
