Dietetics

About this programme

As a registered dietitian you could offer expert advice and dietary changes to help people treat disease, prevent illness, manage health conditions and optimise health. Registered dietitians are qualified health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutrition problems at an individual and wider public health level. Dietitians use the most up-to-date public health and scientific research on food, health and disease, translating it into practical guidance to enable people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices (British Dietetic Association, 2024). This course aims to empower you to use your passion for people and food to prevent and treat a wide range of disease and conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, coeliac disease, food allergies and many more. You’ll also explore the barriers to health that people face and the strategies which can be used to overcome those barriers. Gain the skills and experience to transform lives, communities and the future of healthcare delivery. We aim to empower you to become a stand-out healthcare professional, capable, competent and confident in your field and role within the wider healthcare team. While continuously developing your sense of professional identity as a dietitian from day one, you'll also collaborate with learners from other School of Health and Care fields, learning in an environment that puts inclusivity, diversity and dignity at its heart. The Dietetics BSc (Hons) programme is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) .
