Dietetics (Pre-Registration) MSc

Do you enjoy learning about the science of food and nutrition and its application to the promotion of health and wellbeing, as well as its clinical application and therapeutic effects in treating disease? Then studying for a MSc Dietetics (pre-registration) may just be the right course for you. The title 'dietitian' is the only food and nutrition title that is protected by law.

This course gives graduates eligibility to apply for registration as a dietitian with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and enter the workforce as a registered Allied Health Professional.

The course is also seeking accreditation from the British Dietetic Association (BDA), the professional body for dietitians.
