Summary
**Overview**
Dietitians are the only qualified and registered health professional that can assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems. Dietitians use the most up-to-date public health and scientific research on the impact of nutrition on health and disease, translating this into easy practical guidance for people to implement to reach their nutritional goals.
The dietetic profession is extremely varied, with opportunities working within the NHS, private clinics, public health, the food industry, sports nutrition and the media. You could find yourself working with people who are in hospital, in a clinic setting, nursing homes or at home. You could be helping young children to manage their newly diagnosed diabetes, or supporting an oncology patient through chemotherapy with taste changes and a poor appetite, or advising on tube feeding regimens for patients who are struggling to meet their dietary needs through food due to ill-health.
Our course prepares you through the small group inter-disciplinary teaching within your academic modules alongside practice placements within the NHS and dietetic roles.
You will join a community of enthusiastic lecturers and educators within the local hospitals, and be taught within a multi-professional health school, enabling you to graduate with confidence in your role and to provide person-centered holistic nutritional care in clinical practice.
Our MSc Dietetics was launched in February 2022 with Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and British Dietetic Association (BDA) approval, and is fully compliant with the revised BDA 2020 curriculum.
