Summary
Dietitians are experts in nutrition who can assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutrition-related problems.
Practice-based learning is an essential part of our course and you’ll spend 27 weeks over the two-year programme working hands-on with service users to develop up-to-date skills and professional behaviours in a range of different settings within the Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership.
Our practice partners include everything from local NHS trusts to personal trainers and qualified dietitians running their own businesses, giving you a fantastic basis for starting your own career.
Many of our local NHS trusts even offer further financial and training incentives to graduate dietitians, and further extra-curricular opportunities are available within the city’s sporting sector courtesy of our well-established links with professional clubs such as Hull FC, Hull Kingston Rovers and Hull City.
Plus, 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 – as well as further laying the foundation for your future career.

Please ensure that your application is supported by two references, one being academic. Professional references will be accepted if you have completed your qualifications over five years ago. Interviews will be held throughout February and May, depending on when applications are submitted. In order to ensure our students have a rich learning and student experience, most of our programmes have a mix of domestic and international students.
