Summary
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.

Your personal statement must detail: Why you want to become a dietitian and your commitment to the profession Candidates who meet our short-listing criteria will then be invited for interview, which will take place virtually. You will be asked questions which will help us to understand your values and behaviours around themes such as professionalism, teamwork, quality care and compassion. 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. We reserve the right to close applications early to either group, if application volumes suggest that this blend cannot be achieved.
