On this integrated masters degree, you'll apply your scientific knowledge to diet, nutrition and health. Accredited by the British Dietetic Association, you'll gain all the professional skills to succeed as a registered dietitian.
You'll be taught by experienced registered dietitians, and have regular contact with specialist practising dietitians. This ensures that your training is current, and gives you a vital insight into your future career.
Three practice placements give you first-hand clinical experience. These can take place in either hospital or community dietetic departments.
Teaching is based on Sutton Bonington Campus and you'll use our specialist facilities to build your scientific and communication skills:
- Clinical Skills Suite - includes a diet laboratory and the latest anthropometric measuring tools including:
- Super Lab - a new technology enhanced teaching laboratory
Course Details - Modules
In the first year, you'll study nutrition and biochemistry. You'll learn about the role of a registered dietitian and the skills required. At the end of the year, there is a short practice placement over the summer.
In the second year, you will study food composition, including menu planning, costing, recipe analysis and food labelling. You’ll build upon your skills in dietetics and communication. Applied science topics include nutritional regulation, physiology and endocrinology.
In the third year, you will apply your knowledge to a range of conditions and age groups. You’ll study clinical pharmacology, public health and behavioural management. You will develop core clinical skills on your 12-week full-time placement over the summer.
The final year combines a further 12-week practice placement, your research project and advanced dietetics. You'll learn about dietary management in specialist areas, and cover management, leadership and professionalism. Research projects can relate directly to nutrition and human health.
