Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: B401
Here's what University of Chester says about its Nutrition and Dietetics course.
Our Nutrition and Dietetics course is accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Dietetics Association (BDA). This will allow you to apply to become a registered dietitian as well as ensure that you are taught the professional qualities, skills, and knowledge to become a proficient and competent nutrition professional.
Dietitians interpret the science of nutrition to improve health, and treat diseases and medical conditions by educating and giving practical, personalised advice to clients, patients, carers and colleagues. They work in a wide range of settings with a variety of people from different backgrounds, age groups and ethnicities, and our graduates go on to work in the NHS, public health, the food and drink industry, medical nutrition, sports nutrition, the media, or progress into further study, academia or research.
Our Nutrition and Dietetics degree combines research-led, evidence-based teaching with simulation, service user participation and clinical placements to equip you with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to become autonomous, competent and compassionate dietitians. The course is delivered by registered dietitians, nutritionists, bioscientists and physiologists, who have extensive experience working in clinical dietetics, nutrition, the food industry, public health, biosciences, and sport and exercise. We also work closely with local NHS healthcare providers to ensure that what you learn is up to date, with practical knowledge being regularly shared by highly specialist dietitians who are actively working in clinical practise.
We highly recommend that all students interested in applying for this course attend a Dietetics Awareness Event.
