Course summary
Dietitians have never been more important. They use their knowledge of food and science to support individuals, groups and populations to improve their health and well-being. Our integrated masters course is accredited by the British Dietetic Association and approved by the Health and Care Professions Council. This means you can become a registered dietitian when you graduate. We recognise the world of dietetics is changing. This integrated masters course helps to prepare you to practice in the modern healthcare setting.
- You'll gain knowledge through a wide range of teaching including nutrition, biochemistry, medicine and pathology and pharmacology.
- You'll gain hands on clinical experience through a number of practice placements.
- You'll learn communication and practical skills in our specially built dietetics suite.
- We teach you research skills. Your final project can directly improve patient care and will support you to deliver evidenced base care that is safe and effective.
