Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Nutrition and Dietetics (B401)

Degree Program

On this course, students will learn to help prevent and treat disease as a registered dietitian, responding to the diverse needs of patients, families and carers, within a variety of settings.  

Students will understand how food intake and dietary requirements can be altered by illness and they'll be able to translate nutritional science and information about food, into practical dietary advice. This advice can be aimed at the general public to promote health or in a clinical environment to treat a wide range of medical disorders. 

In their first two years of this course, students will study a variety of topics, ensuring they have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of their degree. At the end of their first year, students will complete their first NHS clinical placement. 

In their third year, students will complete another two placements, each lasting up to 12 weeks. 

In their fourth year, students will have the choice to specialise further in an area of personal interest and they'll also complete a research project, bringing together all the practical, analytical, and presentation skills they've developed.
